We pray that Pope Francis will continue to share his message of peace and love in our troubled and fractured world, bringing hope and solace to those who grieve. Lord in your mercy

We pray for all mothers and women who have care of children and family members. May Mary’s prayers always uphold and strengthen them especially in times of hardship and family crisis. Help us to demonstrate our loving support and appreciation of mothers not only on this day of celebration but throughout the year. Lord in your mercy

We pray for all mothers who mourn the loss of their children through sickness or other reasons. We remember especially the mothers who have lost their children in the Ukraine conflict. May the healing of God our Father console them and grant them peace. Lord in your mercy

We remember and celebrate all new life this springtime especially those families expecting a new baby. We pray that Mary will inspire and protect them at this crucial time. Lord in your mercy
