On Sunday we will celebrate Mothers’ Day. We remember our mothers with love for the tender way they care for us. Let us pray for our mothers and for the generations of mothers before them. (pause) You care for us, O God, as a mother cares for her children. Bless, protect and strengthen all the mothers of the world. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. WE LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (10:27-30) Jesus said to his disciples: “My sheep know my voice, and I know them. They follow me, and I give them eternal life, so that they will never be lost. No one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father gave them to me, and he is greater than all others. No one can snatch them from his hands, and I am one with the Father.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. The words of the gospel remind us that we follow Jesus, our shepherd, because we recognise his voice. It also reminds that Jesus will protect us always, just as a shepherd guards the sheep. This Sunday, we celebrate our mothers and grandmothers, and thank God for their love and care. Join together in praying this Mother’s Day Blessing. After you watch this reflective video, spend some moments in quiet so that the students can pray for their own mothers and caregivers. WE REFLECT May the joy of the Spirit fill our lives. Alleluia! Alleluia! May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. FRIDAY Week 3 Easter 9 May 2025 WE PRAY WE GO FORTH 73
