PASTOR’S MESSAGE...                    

On Thursday I took my mom out for an early Mother’s Day celebration.  With six children, (four of whom have their own Mother’s Day gatherings), my mom gets a week of celebrations. Before my dinner I dropped by CVS to find a Mother’s Day card. It’s always a challenge to find one that expresses my sentiments.  They either strike me as too sappy, too corny, or too bizarre.  But I finally found one that said it all.  To paraphrase, the card tells my mom that motherhood is probably the most unappreciated job in the world. Not that she didn’t already know this from dealing with all of us for over 50 years!  As believers, we are mindful that the love of our mothers is a mirror of God’s love for His children.  And it’s this love we celebrate on Mother’s Day.  Today we rejoice and give thanks for our earthly mothers; those living and deceased. We keep them in our prayers throughout our novena of Masses.  Our prayers and celebrations let our mothers know that we do appreciate them, we love them and we commend them to our heavenly Father, through the intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother.  Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms!

God Bless!   ---Fr. Mike Jones
