A Novena for Mothers Day

Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. — A Blessing for Mothers from the Book of Blessings (USCCB)

The month of May, has long since been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Here at the Rosary Shrine of St. Jude, the Dominican Friars will entrust your prayer intentions to the maternal care of Our Blessed Mother. Additionally, we’re celebrating a special Mothers Day Novena of Masses at the Shrine starting on May 5th! You can send us your prayer intentions by clicking this link.
