We
pray
For
new mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility;
For
expectant mothers, wondering and waiting;
For
those who are tired, stressed or depressed;
For
those who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family;
For
those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty;
For
those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities;
For
those who have children they do not want;
For
those who raise children on their own;
For
those who have lost a child;
For
those who care for the children of others;
For
those whose children have left home;
And
for those whose desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled.
Bless
all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender,
And
that they may lead their children to know and do what is good,
Living
not for themselves alone, but for God and for others.
Hear our prayer.
If I don't say this prayer everyday I at least think about it once or twice. This prayer is powerful & all encompassing just like Mother Mary & Kuan Yin (the Bodhisattva of Compassion, the Buddha of Women & Children, the protector). It startles me & comforts me feel knowing that every living entity on this planet has a mother, including plants. This awareness, understanding & compassionate way can be clearly explained to children using this meditation.
