Alongside my new poem, I would like to wish all mothers out there a very blessed and joyous Mother's Day! I would also like to wish everyone a blessed Month of Mary, our Heavenly Mother!

I would like to pray and ask all to pray with me for all women, especially all mothers and grandmothers; all young women, especially those who are just beginning to mature into womanhood; for all pregnant women, especially those in difficult situations and particularly for those considering abortion; for all wives, that they may have a happy and loving relationship with their husband and children; for all those who have had difficult relationships with their mothers or other women in their lives, that they may forgive those who have hurt them and come to see all women as reflections not only of God, but of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother, the "Mother of All the Living"; and finally, for my other mother, that she may be forgiven her sins, that our relationship may be healed, and that she may grow ever close to You, my God. God bless.
