Good morning/evening every one, I am so happy to welcome you all for today's Holy Mass. Today let us thank God for all our mothers who sacrefice so much for our welfare and growth and let us thank God for every womna who promotes justice and peace; love and harmony of God by her very presence.
Once three sons decided to do something big for their mother. So the first son bought a very expensive house and the second son an expensive sporty Lamberghi car and the third son spent all his money and bought a parrot that could recite the whole bible. All the mother has to say is any of the bible author and the parrot could recite the book.
The mother then wrote a thank you note to every one of them. She said to the first one, "Son, thank you but I don't want to look after a huge house in my age, so I can not accept your gift. But anyhow thank you for your love". To the second son, she said, "Son, I don't even drive and I can not accept your gift. I can not accept your gift but thank you very much'. To the third son she said, "Son, you are the best and you know what a mother wants...thank you so much and by the way, the bird was so delicious".
Motherhood is a very high calling. Their sacrifice and love; their dedication and self-giving are beyond measure. Because of mothers, the world is a better place today and it is because of mothers, children become stronger.
Once a little boy forgot his lines in the school program 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 families and children. And that is why God's love is compared to that of a mother.
once a Sunday school teacher looked at one of the boys and asked, "Joe, tell me do you really pray before meals at home?' Joe said, "No...Sir.." Teacher asked, "why don't you prayer before meal?" And Joe with innocent look answered, "Because my mom is a good cook". Mothers know their children's needs and wants.
What do mothers want? They do not want anything for themselves. All they want is their family to be happy. Yes, they do not want anything for themselves and all they want is their children to grow stronger in every single way and they do not want anything for themselves and all they want is the better world for everyone.
Today we celebrate the glorious feast of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As Christ our Lord was taken up to heaven surrounded by angels, He left behind two mothers to look after our mothers. Yes, universal Mother the Holy Catholic Church and our spiritual Mother Blessed Virgin Mary. And Christ our Lord is now sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding for the needs of us and helping us through the universal mother and our spiritual Mother. So let us pray for all our physical mothers through our universal mother the Holy Catholic Church and our spiritual Mother Blessed Lady. Amen.
