This week ends in a very special way with us celebrating and recognising the wonderful work of all the mother’s in the world.

May - the Month of Mary

May is the month that Christians dedicate to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Church. We can do this by incorporating any of the Marian prayers into our daily prayer life. Below is a selection of prayers you may find useful this month.

A Child’s Prayer to Mary

Holy Mary, mother fair, filled with love for God, pray for us in all our needs. Pray for us today. Amen.

The Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

The Holy Rosary

In the Western Church the Holy Rosary is the foremost prayer dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. There are a number of Rosary Apps available for both Android and Apple devices which will guide you through how to pray the Rosary.

Thank you and blessings for a wonderful weekend,

A blessing and prayer tribute to all mothers

"Blessed be all mothers who have come into our lives
Whose kindness, care and loving remain with us to guide.
Your inspiration in us made us strive in every way
Especially, to remember helping others makes our day.
Mothers, this little tribute flows directly from my heart
You are so loved and cherished invaluable, one and all, you are.
