This Sunday, we have the great privilege of celebrating Mother’s Day. From our Blessed Mother, who by her example of love and humility was the perfect role model, to all mothers who raise children today, we acknowledge with gratitude and affection your daily commitment. There are no set hours for the important work you do, only sleepless nights and round-the-clock devotion to your sons, daughters and families. We also honor and remember those mothers who have passed on to eternal life and who will always live in our hearts. Setting aside a single day seems so insignificant. Because as Pope Francis reminds us: “mothers are witnesses of tenderness, dedication and moral strength. A mother’s embrace is essential.” Happy Mother’s Day!
