Mother’s Day is that special day set aside every year to acknowledge the part that mothers play in our lives and in our culture. Pregnancy, birth and child-raising call for vast resources from the lives of women.
This year, make a point to express your thanks to your own mother—the one who gave you birth and/or the one who raised you—and to honor the other mothers in your family, church and community.
It is through a mother’s generosity that we experience life and love. Motherhood requires great sacrifice, even when a woman decides to place her child into the arms of a loving family. Whether motherhood was planned or unplanned, whether the mother placed her baby for adoption or adopted a child, all mothers are held in our hearts and prayers.
Moms—who love deeply and bring a new life into the world—deserve the best on this, their special day. Happy Mother’s Day on Sunday and every day!
For life,
Leo F. LaLonde
President
