3 VICAR’S LETTER

Mothering Sunday Without being too sexist I suppose I am rather unusual as a man because I adore flowers. Recently I had a birthday and my eldest son brought me a card and some flowers. I wonder how many dads get flowers on their birthdays? However, I was brought up with flowers as my grandfather commercially grew carnations in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire and I am sure that the love of flowers is in my blood. March will not only see our gardens full of flowers but shops and florists preparing for Mothering Sunday. I do believe that giving a simple bunch of flowers to your mother on Mothering Sunday (Mother’s Day) is very important. The theme of Mothering Sunday, which we celebrate at Stow Bedon Church at 10.30a.m. on 22nd March, will be ‘Mothers’ but also family life as we remember the vital role of the Virgin Mary had on her Son Jesus Christ. Mary is often depicted carrying the madonna lily to show her pureness and innocence but I’m sure that Mary was more than that. Her role in Jesus’ life, the fact she knelt beneath the cross and was there in the early days of the church, shows that she was a woman of determination with many gifts. As we remember our mothers it is easy to either think that they are, or were, all perfect or frankly with lots of faults. The truth is that all parents do their best and Mothering Sunday is a chance to support family life and the parents in our parishes and the massive task they have in the days we live in bringing up children. I have no one now to give flowers to on Mothering Sunday except everyone in church on Mothering Sunday. Do come and celebrate.

With every blessing Adrian Bell
