On Mother's Day

Let us pray.

For the mothers of those with special needs.
For the mothers of those in our military .
For the mothers in our military and their children.
For mothers who learn from their kids.
For families without moms.
For mothers of a bride.
For the mothers of prisoners.
For mothers of twins and multiples.
For single mothers.
For those finding Mother's Day sad.
For our beloved nuns who serve mothers and their children every day.
For our lay female members who minister to our churches.
For mothers whose kids make them laugh.
For mothers who grieve the loss of a child.
For mothers of freshmen.
For mothers who are homeless and for those living in poverty.
For mothers in third world countries, dealing with malaria and other life threatening conditions.
For empty nest mothers.
For mothers of kids who make them proud.
For mothers of addicts and mothers who are addicts.
For all of us who celebrate Mother's Day in our own way.

And here's a video made for a special needs mom.






and a soldier surprises his mom with a homecoming



Happy Mother's Day!

Hi, I'm RAnn and I'd like to invite you to participate in Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. It is a successor to the Catholic Carnival run by Jay at Living Catholicism for many years. It is a way to share our best posts with the Catholic blogging community. Each week, I will create a Sunday Snippets post that includes Mr. Linky. If you want to participate, create a post on your blog highlighting your best post(s) of the week, and linking both to them and to the master post on my blog. Then, go to my blog and use Mr. Linky to link us to your post. This week's post is http://rannthisthat.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunday-snippets-catholic-carnival_09.html

I have been asked by people who post infrequently if they can just use Mr. Linky to link directly to their featured post, without creating a Sunday Snippets post. Since one purpose of Sunday Snippets is for bloggers to share their posts with those who do not regularly read their blog, and to share their readers with other bloggers, if you choose to do that, please include a link to Sunday Snippets in your post. If you click on Luuk's name on this week's post, you'll see someone who does that.

If you'd like a weekly reminder to participate, you may subscribe to our yahoogroup. http://rannthisthat.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunday-snippets-catholic-carnival_09.html
