Mothers Day Reflection

May 9, 2025

Loving and nurturing God, we thank you for our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts and mentors – for all they have meant to us and for all they have given us over the years.

Thank you for the love they have shown and the care they have given, for all the ways they held us close, gave us protection and support.

Gracias por el amor que nos han mostrado y el cuidado que nos han brindado, por todas las maneras en que nos han tenido cerca, nos dieron protección y apoyo

[God] knows I would rather be cold and hungry than the poor in Kingston or elsewhere should be deprived of any consolation in our power to afford.
