TWO MOTHERS

How many mothers does each person have? Did you know we each have two mothers. First we have the mother who gave us birth. Then we have our heavenly mother. For when dying on the cross Jesus said to Saint John at the foot of the cross. "Son behold your mother." And to His mother Mary He said "woman behold your son." In this way Jesus gave us His mother to be our mother. This is the teaching of the catholic church. Mary does not take her job as mother to all mankind lightly. She is very concerned about her children.

Mary is therefore somebody we all have in common.

So each mother's day I have two card and gifts to buy. One for my earthly mother and another for my heavenly mother. The following poem is about mother's day.

MOTHERS’ DAY
by
J. A. Fullerton

It’s the second Sunday in May
And its time again for Mothers’ day
A time to repay all the love received
From two mothers, two mothers indeed.

First we have our mother who gave us birth
Fed and clothed us and saw us through times of the worst
A mother who cared more than the rest
One who survived the toughest test.

Its time here to say Mum, thanks so much
When I was helpless you were my crutch
Sorry for any hurt I’ve caused
Before I acted I should have paused.

And we must also thank Mary our Heavenly Mother
Mother of God and of one another
For Jesus from the cross did say
‘Mary will be the mother of all from this day’.

So thanks so much Mary for all you’ve done
Thanks for all the sufferings you bore along with Your Son
Its something we will never be able to repay
So Mary our Mother have a great Mother’s day.
