Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. — A Blessing for Mothers from the Book of Blessings (USCCB) The month of May, has long since been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Father’s Day Novena

Rosary Shrine of Saint Jude 630 E Street SW, Washington, DC, United States

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. — 1 Corinthians 13:4 In Saint Paul's moving Letter to the Corinthians, he shows us how to love each other rightly. When a father loves his children in this tender way, he grows in the virtue of charity and fulfills the noble vocation of fatherhood. At the Rosary Shrine of Saint Jude, we’re celebrating a special Father's Day Novena of Masses at the Shrine starting on June 9th. You can send us your prayer intentions by clicking this link.
