Happy Mother's Day

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we give thanks to God for the beautiful gift of our mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and all women who have blessed us with a mother’s love. Through their patience, sacrifice, tenderness, and strength, we catch a glimpse of the faithful love of God, who never forgets His children. As the Lord says through the prophet Isaiah: “Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you” (Isaiah 49:15). This is the tender and protective love of God, like a mother hen gathering her chicks close to herself, keeping them safe beneath her wings.

Today, we remember with gratitude the mothers who are still with us, pray lovingly for those who have gone before us, and hold close all for whom this day may be difficult. We also turn to Mary, our Blessed Mother, asking her intercession for every mother, every family, and every home in our parish.

May the Lord bless all mothers with peace, joy, good health, and renewed strength. May they know how deeply they are loved, appreciated, and remembered in our prayers.

With gratitude and blessings,
Fr. Long Phi Nguyen, SVD
