Significance Of Today

Today is Mother’s Day!!

Around the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on different days throughout the year. In Ireland and the UK, Mother’s Day is always held on the fourth Sunday of Lent, and in 2024 is taking place today March 10th.

Here is a sample of other  countries celebrating Mother’s Day in 2024 and you can see there is quite a variety of different dates!

  • Ireland and the UK – March 10th
  • Middle East – March 21st
  • Hungary, Portugal and Spain – May 5th
  • Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Cyprus – May 12th
  • US, Brazil and Australia – May 12th
  • France – May 26th

Today is also International Day Of Awesomeness. It is a day to celebrate everything that is awesome, including yourself! After all, people are awesome every single day but we so often take goodness about ourselves very much for granted and at the best of times we dismiss it. But not today!

Thought For The Week

A Prayer on Mother’s Day

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we give thanks for our own mother. We thank you for being the wonderful you.

Thank you for all the love you have given.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding and your dedication. Thank you for your advice, your wisdom and for being uniquely you.

Thank you for making many sacrifices, thank you for your total dedication and for doing so many things for me.

You know me better than most. You have been with me through everything. There will never be enough words to say thank you.

You are special every day but on Mother’s Day you are even more special. I pray to you today asking our Loving God to bless you, to keep you in good health and to give you strength, courage, compassion and peace. May you continue to be a woman of love and of hope. May you be blessed today and every day.

And if your Mum is deceased we also remember her with love on this Mother’s Day.Amen
