Weekly Prayer

Luke 1:46-49, also known as the Magnificat, is a beautiful song of praise that Mary sang to God after she received the news that she would give birth to Jesus. In this passage, Mary expresses her joy and gratitude for God's mercy and faithfulness, and acknowledges the great things that God has done for her.

As we approach Mother's Day, Mary's words in the Magnificat take on a special  significance. Mary was chosen by God to be the mother of the Messiah, and her faith and trust in God's plan serve as an inspiration to mothers everywhere. Like Mary, mothers are often called upon to make sacrifices and to face difficult challenges, but their love and  devotion to their children reflects the selfless love of God.

This week we look forward to acknowledging and celebrating the amazing women and special people who gently shape and guide us. Wishing our mothers and special people in  our lives a very happy Mother’s Day on Sunday.
