Prayer for Mother’s Day

Loving God, we pray for our mothers, who have given us life and love,
that we may show them reverence and love,
and others who show us a mother’s love.

We pray for adoptive mothers and for the women who wish to give birth
but experience challenges, that they know your care.

We pray for mothers who have lost a child through death,
that their faith may give them hope,
and their family and friends support and console them.

We pray for those who wish to serve as mothers,
but are not able to do so, that they know your comfort.

We pray for mothers who have died,
that God may bring them into the joy of his kingdom.
Amen.

Mothers Day Gifts

Kind. Caring. Nurturing. Strong. Protective. These are just a few of the words that come to mind when we hear the word “Mum”.With Mother’s Day coming up, Mercy Works are sharing something to make honouring the mother figures in your life – and that of your community – especially meaningful this year: a donation from our Gifts of Mercy catalogue! These will help make a profound difference for children and mothers around the world. One of the best ways you can help support children is by supporting the mothers who care for them. That’s why they work to provide vulnerable mothers and families with the resources and tools necessary to help their children build better, brighter futures –To celebrate the incredible love and support of mothers everywhere, they are inviting you to make a $10 Mother’s Day Tribute Gift in honour of a mum or special maternal figure in your life.

All you have to do is simply choose a card from our new Mother’s Day Gift Card range and in a few clicks you will be giving a lasting gift to people in need on behalf of a loved one. A gift that lasts a lifetime!

When you buy a Gift of Mercy for someone special, they will send a personalised digital e-card to you to send to your loved one – straight to your inbox – letting them know the incredible impact your gift will have for women and children in need across the projects we work with on their behalf.

Your donation will help provide maternal health and infant care in Timor-Leste, educate Indigenous girls and young mums in Australia and PNG, empower survivors of human trafficking in The Philippines or help women gain financial independence in PNG. It will help give life-saving protein to malnourished children. It will help educate, nurture and protect children in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and The Philippines. So please click here to honour a mum in your life and help women and children around the world have a brighter future. Or you can use this QR Code:

Your support will help create lasting change for the women and children who need it most – change that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for supporting the work of our Mercy community.
