Happy Mother’s Day everyone. Hope this is a good day for everyone out there!
 
Happy Mother’s Day to you and all mothers, savienu :flowers:

I’ll share this message which was in Fr Corapi’s most recent newsletter:

This Sunday we once again have the joy of celebrating Mothers Day. It is certainly fitting enough that this falls in the month of May, the month the Church dedicates to the Mother of Jesus and our Spiritual Mother. It’s a beautiful month dedicated to what is perhaps the most beautiful reality I can imagine—mothers.

In the often misguided and morally confused society we live in, the vocation and blessing of being a mother isn’t esteemed highly enough by many individuals that are so preoccupied with making a living and accumulating material things. Sometimes motherhood isn’t respected enough by men. Even more baffling—sometimes women don’t themselves value this calling and honor as they ought. As far as I’m concerned, it would be hard to imagine a more noble, more necessary, and more beautiful calling in life.

Moms, only in Heaven will you realize just how pleasing you are to God. You have collaborated with God our Father in bringing new life into the world. You have given our heavenly Father children, and these children He treasures more than you could ever imagine.

“Mother—“ Perhaps the most beautiful word in all of language. It expresses life. It expresses love. It expresses cooperation with God. It speaks of something that will never end.

One day, moms, you’ll be honored by God himself for your many sacrifices. For now, accept our thanks, our love, and our tribute. We salute you, Moms, this day and for all eternity.

God bless you for all you’ve done for us.

In Jesus’ Love through Mary our Mother,
Fr. John Corapi
 
To all the mothers out there, may God bring you many graces and blessings today.

Thank you, Moreweena for that wonderful message from Father Corapi.
 
I will add that My Mom and I will celebrate Mother’s Day next Sunday as I am still rather ill today.
 
I had a lovely Mother’s Day with my Mom, who is 82 years young. I am so fortunate to still have her around, although we live 1 1/2 hours apart. She is bright and active, still drives, still teaches painting 2 days a week, cans and feezes her food from her garden, plays bingo 3 nights a week, visits Casinos, keeps tabs on all her granchildren and great-grandchldren, cooks holiday dinners, and goes to church every Sat. afternoon one hour early to have her alone time with God.

I am truly blessed to be the daughter of this remarkable woman who endured unbelieveable hardship in her early life, yet never lost her faith. She is the joy of my life. Each Mother’s Day I thank God for one more year with her, and I know that she will be rewarded greatly some day for her constant love and faithfulness.
