Blessed Virgin Mary,
Whose gentleness and love bless all people in your care, please keep mothers dear to me in your loving prayers.
Reflecting on the joy of awaiting Jesus’s birth, please pray for mother-to-be and newborns on this Earth.
Having nurtured Jesus, who grew in wisdom and strength, please pray for mothers teaching their children love and faith.
For the blessings they are, here and in heaven’s glory, please pray for mothers living now and in memory.
