Happy Mother's Day
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future.
─Proverbs 31:25
© 2011 Bon Venture Services,
Our Lady of Good Counsel
Pompton Plains, New Jersey
May is the Month of Mary!
As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is
exalted, yet still one of us. Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble
tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also
the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far
surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of
Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved. (Lumen Gentium, no. 53)
Mary embraces God's will and freely chooses to cooperate with God's grace, thereby fulfilling a crucial role in God's
plan of salvation. Throughout the centuries, the Church has turned to the Blessed Virgin in order to come closer to
Christ. Many forms of piety toward the Mother of God developed that help bring us closer to her Son. In these devotions
to Mary, "while the Mother is honored, the Son, through whom all things have their being and in whom it has pleased
the Father that all fullness should dwell, is rightly known, loved and glorified and . . . all His commands are observed."
The Church honors her as the Mother of God, looks to her as a model of perfect discipleship, and asks for her prayers to
God on our behalf.
Happy Mother’s Day!
We wish all our mothers a happy and healthy Mother’s Day!
Loving God,
as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children,
so you watch over your Church.
Bless our mother.
Let the example of her faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, her family,
may honor her always with a spirit of profound respect.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
