I found a bookmark this morning that must have come from a resource table at one of the prayer chapels I often visit. It was a timely read. Perhaps it will be the same for you.
PRAYER FOR MOTHERS
God of all peoples,
God, our Father,
God of Mary, mother of Jesus,
Bless the mother of our family,
Bless her with the strength of Your Spirit,
She who had taught her children how to walk,
How to speak, and how to pray to You.
Bless her and all mothers today with health,
Joy, love, laughter and pride in her children.
May she who embraced the gift of life that you entrusted to her,
Be embraced by You for all eternity
To rejoice with her family and friends forever.
This blessing and all graces, we pray
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen+
