Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Mother’s Day!
Mothers are a very important part of our lives and of society. Mothers hold a significant place in the life of the family. They are instrumental in providing both physical and spiritual care for children.
The influence of a holy and virtuous mother’s love can greatly influence children for the better throughout their lives. And the lack of a loving motherly presence can cause a lot of difficulties both in the life of the family and in individuals’ lives.
Motherly duties are not always easy. Mothers face many challenges and difficulties as they work to provide a loving home for their children and their husbands, while combating the temptations and corruptions of the modern world.
Mothers deserve our respect and our love. They are also in need of our prayers.
As we prepare to celebrate mothers in our country on Mother’s Day, we can assist mothers everywhere by praying for them. Let’s seek grace and help for mothers everywhere in this Novena for Mother’s Day!
