WOV 692, “For All the Faithful Women”
Devotion
Family, fundamental in human society, is the oldest institution on earth. It is the original source of authority, government, morality and religion. From the human family the church was organized. This Mother’s Day it would be well to emphasize the role the Christian mother plays in her family and home, for much of her labor, energy, time, prayer and love are dedicated to the home and family. She is the center around whom the family revolves. She seeks the welfare, growth and happiness of that family. She loves.
A young boy was once asked “What makes a home?” He answered, “You, Mother, and when Father comes, our table all set and shiny, and my bed; and, Mother, I think it’s home because we love each other.” It is good to set aside a special day to acknowledge this special person and say “Thank you. I love you for your love to me.”
Prayer
We give you thanks for those who have loved us and cared for us. Keep them, now, in your constant care. Amen.
