Prayer for May 9, 2021

O Lord our God, we come before you this day to honor our mothers.  For the times you wiped our tears and celebrated our successes we thank you.  For those mothers and grandmothers who are no longer with us we miss you,  For those who have lost a child or are unable to bear children, we mourn with you.  For those who have adopted us as mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts and sisters, we cherish that gift.  For all women and the joy and wonder you bring to the world, we honor you.  Amen
