Let us pray for all mothers - birth, step, adoptive, foster, etc. - and those who take on a mothering role in a child's life.

God our heavenly Father,
you give to each the ability to share your generative love.
Bless those women in our lives who mirror your love.
Help us to show them our gratitude for the gift of a mother's love.
May God continue to bless them and show them his unfailing love.
We ask this through Jesus, God's Son and our brother.
Amen.
