Dear Mothers,
On this Mother’s Day, I wish all mothers in the Diocese of the West and every where a wonderful and happy Mother’s Day.
Sometimes you feel alone struggling so hard. Please know that our Lord Jesus Christ sees and takes note of your sacrifice, your hard work, and your loving commitment to your families. He will reward you in due time.
May God’s grace abound to you all. May you live to celebrate more Mother’s Days and to enjoy the fruit of your labor and sacrifice, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Let us Pray:
Heavenly Father, we ask you to grant an abundance of your grace on all those to whom you have entrusted the calling of motherhood. Let your Holy Spirit constantly inspire and strengthen them. Empower them to be your instruments of transformation in the world despite the challenges and difficulties they face daily. Give them joy, hope, faith, patience and peace as they fulfill their responsibilities as mothers. We pray that you, O Lord, will continually be honored as King in their lives and in that of their families to the glory of God alone.
May the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit be upon our mothers and their families now and forever. Amen.
Warm regards,
The Rt. Rev. Dr. Felix Orji, OSB, ECCK
