Thoughts on Mother's Day

 

When we think of mothers, we think, of course, of our own dear mothers, but also of the Church as Mother, and indeed of Mary, the Lord’s Mother. It was to her that Simeon prophesied in the Gospel of St. Luke that a sword would pierce her own soul. Mothers share in our joys and our sorrows, our fears, our failures and successes. Indeed, they are worthy of honor and love, especially on a day like today. So can I make a particular recommendation? I encourage all of you to pray a Rosary today for all the women who have played a motherly role in your life. And remember to visit our website to log your Rosary for our 25th anniversary challenge, with the goal of 100,000 Rosaries prayed this month.

LOG A ROSARY

In Christ,
