Mother's day: A time to reflect on motherhood.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mother's day is a day that has been set aside to remember and celebrate the many contributions of women(mothers) in the structuring and nurturing of our society and family.

Women are co- creators with God and deserve to be honoured. Every woman is a mother whether or not they have children. By nature, women nurture others and often do not receive the same care and love that they have to give day in day out.

In the church, this day has become for us a day to pay tribute to Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary. For her motherly love and care towards the entire Christian family. She the mother of Christ who is our saviour, making her the symbol of our salvation and faith.

Different places have different days that they have chosen to celebrate motherhood. In the UK for instance, it's every 4th Sunday in lent. On this day Men are specifically expected to show love, respect and care to the women in their lives. 

Pearl and rose perfect for you mum!
