We remember mothers in our global community who care for their children as guns of war are heard. In Zimbabwe, India, Guyana, Belize, Botswana . . . We remember mothers as sicknesses such as AIDS and malaria ravage their lands. In Hai , Burundi, Eritrea, Cambodia, Guatemala . . . We remember mothers whose access to food and water is scarce. In Sudan, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Afghanistan . . . We remember mothers who bundled up their children, fled their homes, and became refugees. Mary, Mother of God, embrace all mothers, give them strength and courage and mother their spirits so they can con nue to heal the wounds of their children and of the world. We give thanks for mothers everywhere. Amen.
