The following is the same prayer being said during the Novena at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.The Novena runs from May 3rd through May 11th. Mother's Day is May 12th.
Most Gracious Heavenly Father,
We thank you for our mothers to whom you have entrusted the care of every precious human life. Grant that every woman may come to understand the full meaning of that blessing. Watch over every mother who is with child. Grant her love for her unborn baby. Give her courage in times of fear, understanding in times of doubt, and hope in times of trouble. Grant her joy in the birth of her child.We beseech you to send Your Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to all mothers who sorrow for children that have died. Help grieving mothers to rely on your tender mercy and fatherly love for all your children. We ask your blessing on all those to whom you have entrusted motherhood. May they ever follow the example of Mary, mother of Our Lord Jesus, and imitate her fidelity, her humility, and her self-giving love.
We ask this through your beloved son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
AMEN.
