BLESSING PRAYER FOR MOTHER’S DAY God of Love, listen to this prayer. God of Holy People, of Sarah, Ruth and Rebekah; God of Holy Elizabeth, mother of John, of Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus, bend down Your ear to this request and bless the mother of our family
Bless her with the strength of Your spirit, she who has taught her children how to stand and how to walk.
Bless her with the melody of Your love, she who has shared how to speak, how to sing and how to pray to You.
Bless her with a place at Your eternal dinner table, she who has fed and nurtured the life that was formed within her while still helpless but embraced in her love.
Bless her today, now, in this lifetime, with good things, with health. Bless her with joy, love, laughter and pride in her children and surround her with many good friends.
May she who carried life in her womb be carried one day to Your divine embrace: there, for all eternity, to rejoice with her family and friends.
This blessing and all graces we pray, descend upon the mother of our family: In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit. Amen.+
(From Prayers for the Domestic Church by Edward Hays)

Scripture in God’s Plan of Revelation
The written Word of God comes to us as part of a broader pattern of God’s
revelation of himself in history. This self-revelation of God, in turn, is part
of what the Apostle Paul and the early Church fathers called a divine economy of
salvation, an orderly plan by which God intends to invite all men and women into
intimate new life with himself. In his goodness and wisdom God chose to reveal himself and to make known to us the hidden purpose of his will (Eph 1:9) by which through Christ, the Word made flesh, man might in the Holy Spirit have access to the Father and come to share in the divine nature (Eph 2:18; 2 Pt 1:4). Through this revelation, therefore, the invisible God (Col 1:15; 1 Tim 1:17) out of the abundance of his love speaks to men as friends (Ex 33:11; John 15:14-15) and lives among them (Bar 3:38), so that he may invite and take them into fellowship with himself.
