Mother’s day and Love One Another As I have Loved You
I am so happy to welcome you all for today’s Holy Mass. Our Special welcome to all our parishioners, cottagers, visitors and every one here today.
Dear friends, Every time we come to Church, God Almighty gives once again blesses us to love one another as Christ has loved us. Every time we come to here, Christ the only Son of God showers upon us His Holy Spirit to know the gift of love that is given to us all and every time we come to Church and receive the body of Christ our Lord we become like Him full of love and kindness.
As we celebrate Mother’s day tomorrow, let us thank God for our mothers who sacrifice so much for our well-being and growth and pray for all women who promote justice and peace in the world.
Once a Sunday school teacher looked at one of the boys and asked, “Joe, tell me, do you really pray before meal at home?’ The boy said, “No...Sir”. Why don’t you pray? He asked and Joe said, “Because my mom is a good cook”.
A mother knows what her children need. She spend all her time, energy and resources for the growth of her children. She not only loves her children and but also teaches them how to love one another. A mother shapes the future of a society.
Once a little boy forgot his lines in the school drama in which he was participating. His mother who was sitting in the front row helped him whispering, “Say, I am the light of the world....” The boy was so happy because he got the line and said proudly, “My mother is the light of the world”.
Mothers radiate divine peace and serenity in the world. They sacrifice their happiness and joy for their family and children. And that is why God’s love is compared to that of a mother.
There is a beautiful biblical story of the wisdom of Solomon in which we come to know the true love of a mother.
Once King Solomon was asked to give a verdict on a case in which two women claimed for one child. They both said strongly that the child belonged to them. Then Solomon said, “Bring me a sword and cut the living child into two and give half to one and half to the other”. Then one mother came forward and said, “ My Lord, please do not cut the child into two. give the child to her”. But on the other hand, the other woman said, “Cut the child into two and I will be satisfied”.
Then the king spoke up and said, “No mother wants her son dead. She is the mother because she wants her child to live so, give her the child”
Motherhood is spiritual in nature and it can only be identified with sacrifice and
love. we say faith begins at home. yes, faith begins at home because of mothers. when a mother has a strong faith, her children's faith will be stronger.
Once a mother who had three sons, received gifts and presence from them for mother's day. The first son beautiful big house for her. The second one got a nice BMW car and the third one a parrot who
could recite the whole bible. Then she sent a thank you note to each of them. she said to the first
one, "Son, since I am getting old, I don't need a big house and I can't accept your gift" To the
second one, she wrote, "Son, I am not driving anymore and I can't accept your gift. Then she
wrote to the third one, "Son, you are the best. And thank you very much for your precious gift
and by the way, the bird was so delicious”.
Conclusion: Christ our Lord invites us to love one another as He has loved. So let us extend our love to those who are in need. Amen.
