Have a Blessed Mother's Day

For all the wonderful mothers I know and love, I hope you have a happy and blessed day. For an interesting history of Mother's Day read this linked article.

I'm looking forward to having breakfast with my family and heading to Mass to give thanks for the 6 beautiful blessings He has given me. It's a tradition in our parish to have a procession following Mass to the Marian Grotto on the parish property. The First Communicants will be dressed once again in their finery, bearing flowers to present to the Blessed Mother. She is the model for us all, is she not? It should be a lovely day.
