A Prayer for Mothers
All-loving God, we give you thanks and praise for mothers young and old.

We pray for young mothers, who give life and count toes and tend to our every need; May they be blessed with patience and tenderness to care for their families and themselves with great joy.

We pray for our own mothers who have nurtured and cared for us; May they continue to guide us in strong and gentle ways.

We remember mothers who are separated from their children because of war, poverty, or conflict; May they feel the loving embrace of our God who wipes every tear away.

We pray for women who are not mothers but still love and shape us with motherly care and compassion.

We remember mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen.

Religious Education in the Classroom: Year 1/2
Year 1/2 have been Artwork Detectives this week. Student’s have been looking carefully at artworks of Mary to find clues about what aspect of Mary’s life the artist is depicting. We have discovered that Mary is often shown in the colour blue or white, with a crown or halo, with Jesus or an angel, with flowers or Rosary Beads.
