A Mass In Celebration of Motherhood

BEHOLD THE HANDMAID OF THE LORD.

Like the Blessed Mother, each Mother offers her life as an unselfish sacrifice to her children, loving them wholly, unconditionally, and eternally.

MOTHERS ARE GOD'SGIFTTOUS.

A Mother's love emulates the tender love of God's love toward his creation.

The Lord endows in Mothers his own gentle affection for his children.

Mothers are the heart and soul of every family.

They deserve a special debt of gratitude for their generous spirits and their tireless, and sometimes unrecognized, dedication to their families.
