Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women of theory who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings.

Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Give them the faithful support of family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children.

Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. Amen

“...The King will reply, ’Truly I tell you , whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

My dear friends, as we are still in Pandemic-days and in order to act with utmost care and caution for the sake of our brothers and sisters, we will continue to wear masks and keep a safe distance. There are folks that are still very fearful of the Pandemic and no matter how we feel, we are called by the Gospel of the Lord to be charitable to them.

Thank you for your kindness and your care for the community. God willing, this too will pass soon. I pray for you and for your dear families. Please pray for me.

Msgr. Pablo A. Navarro
