Holy Father,
Today we acknowledge the special women
in our lives who have loved and nurtured us.
We pray that You would bless them.
May we learn from their example to speak
kind words of wisdom and to consider
others' needs above our own.
We pray Your comfort for those
who feel loss or loneliness today.
We praise You for our humble beginnings
and for all the women who have aided us
in growing in Your love.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
