Jesus holds us in his heart with love and mercy. In his heart we are nourished, we grow in his grace and we are nurtured to become what we were created to be: sons and daughters of God.

In the month of May we honor Mary, Jesus' Mother and our Mother, and this weekend we honor our own mothers, too. In her Immaculate Heart, Mary carries each of us to her Son the way a mother carries her child within her to life.
May a mother's love bring each of us to the life that is ours in the heart of the risen Christ...
Let us pray...

open wide your Heart of mercy
and refresh us with the peace that flows
from the font of your love.
