PRAYER FOR MOTHERS To honour mothers we ask for a special touch from the Lord for each and every one of them. May every mother be granted a special blessing, and may all of the work of her hands not be forgotten in Your sight. Let her example to her children be a guiding force in their lives, and may wisdom be passed down to the next generation of mothers. Through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Amen
