Mother’s Day
Gratitude for My Mother
This weekend we pray in a special way for all Mothers, living and deceased.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Dear Lord, today I turn to you to give you thanks for my mother. With your own gift of life, she bore me in her womb and gave me life. She tenderly, patiently cared for me and taught me to walk and talk. She read to me and made me laugh. No one delighted in my successes more; no one could comfort me better in my failures. I am so grateful for how she mothered me and mentored me, and even disciplined me. Please bless her, Lord, and comfort her. Help her loving heart to continue to love and give of herself to others. Strengthen her when she is down and give her hope when she is discouraged. Most of all, Lord, on this Mother's Day, give my mother the graces she most needs and desires today. I ask you this, in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior forever and ever.
For a Mother Who Has Died
Dear Lord, relying on your promises to us, I turn to you in trust that my mother is with you and that she is enjoying your loving embrace. You alone know how she loved the best she could and how she faithfully endured the struggles that she faced. You know the graces you gave her and you know the grace she was for me and for so many. For all the ways she truly loved the way you loved her, please reward her, Lord. May she enjoy the communion of all her family and friends who are with you. Lord, I know my mother still loves us who are still here on earth. I ask you that you might listen to her fervent prayers for us. Help me to grow into a new and deeper relationship with my mother now, as I long for the day when we will both meet in your embrace -- freed from all that might have hindered our relationship on earth, knowing and understanding everything we did not know or understand on this earth. I ask you this with faith in the resurrection, trusting my mother's love, and desiring that she know my love for her. Amen.

NewsFrom the desk of Fr. Cliff
As your pastor, my greatest prayer for you is that your faith in God continues to grow and that you allow your faith to be the center of your lives. The Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) retreats, available right here in our parish, are a wonderful way of continuing your faith growth and helping you to deepen your friendship with our loving Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. I highly encourage you to take this step in faith. More -
News from the VaticanThe Vatican has launched a new Web site that aggregates its news services and makes items readily available in various formats. You can find it at: www.news.va/en. In an interview about the new site, Archbishop Celli, head of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, said, "What we want to do is give to everybody the possibility of direct immediate access to the news from the Vatican, and mainly from the magisterium of the pope." At the moment the site is only available in English, but according to the interview with Archbishop Celli a Spanish version is likely to be the next language available.
