Mothers Day 2016

As a school and parish community we gathered together to celebrate Mass. We started by setting the sacred space:

We bring to our focus some items that remind us of our mums, those here today and all mums wherever they are.

A HEART a symbol of their love for us and our love for them.

A BUNCH OF FLOWERS to show how beautiful our Mums are and how much we think of them.

THE FIRST AID KIT reminds us of Mum.. the doctor who is always there when we scrape our knee or bump our heads.

THE CAR KEYS are for the mum who drives us everywhere and picks us up no matter what else she has to do.

AN APRON for the Mum who cooks and cleans and tidys up after us and always makes sure we have what we need.

THE CANDLE Christ is our light and our Mums share and show us the love of Christ.

A PICTURE OF MARY the mother of Jesus who always said YES and who is a role model for all mums.

Judy S "I thought the Mass was very good."
Iding M "The mass celebrated Mother's Day very well."

We ended the mass with Father Paul blessing all mothers: God our father, we ask you to bless all the mothers present today, together with all women who have a mothering role. Give them your love , that they may love those entrusted to them with the love that only mothers can give.

Give them your strength , that they may never weary of the demanding life they lead. Give them your warmth that they may radiate to their children the human and divine qualities of compassion, justice, dignity, patience and kindness.

Above all give them your joy and peace , that they may always know the special place they have in your heart ,that you love them as you gave your love to Mary, the mother of Jesus your Son.

May these special women who give so much to others, so unselfishly and generously, know that you are with them always. And may Almighty God bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Spirit

AMEN

After mass the mothers, grandmothers and other mother figures were invited to share a morning tea in the Narthex.
