Praises to our Mothers

tomorrow is "Happy Mothers' Day" day. let us not forget to greet our dear loving mothers and be sure not to exasperate or wear her out. express your gratitude and make her feel she is especial, even if it is not mother's day. life is too short so we must cherish every moment with them. for anyone who is not in good terms with their mom, try to forgive them and understand. if they cant understand you, then maybe you should be the one to understand them. life is easy. be lighthearted.

and another thing, tomorrow is also the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. another good reason to reflect. assure not to miss the Sunday mass! and let us try to sing this (even just once in our lifetime):

OUR LADY OF FATIMA

D G D
Dear Lady of Fatima we come on bended knees
G A
To beg your intercession for peace and unity
D G D
Dear Mary, won’t you show us the right and shining way
G D A D
We pledge our love and offer you a rosary each day.
You promised at Fatima each time that you appeared
To help us if we pray to you to banish war and fear
Dear Lady on first Saturdays, we ask your guiding hand
For grace and guidance here on earth and protection for our land.


--i googled that so i could also sing it especially tomorrow :)

here are some info about Our Lady of Fatima

 We celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13^th. On this day in 1917, Our Lady made her first appearance to three shepherd children, Jacinta (age 7), Francisco (age 9) and Lucia (age 10), at Fatima in Portugal.  She appeared to them once a month from May through October.  The lives of the three children of Fatima were entirely transformed by the heavenly apparitions.  While fulfilling the duties of their state with the greatest fidelity, those children seemed now to live only for prayer and sacrifice, which they offered in a spirit of reparation to obtain peace and the conversion of sinners.  They deprived themselves of water during the periods of great heat; they gave their lunch to poor children; they wore around their waists thick cords that even drew blood; they abstained from innocent pleasures and urged one another to the practice of prayer and penance with an ardor comparable to that of the great saints.

A Sure Means of  Salvation

Our Lady communicated with Lucia, the oldest of the three children, in her six monthly appearances.  She asked the Blessed Virgin Mary to take them to Heaven.  "Yes," Our Lady answered, "I will take Jacinta and Francisco soon.  You, however, are to stay here a longer time.  Jesus wants to use you to make me known and loved.  He wants to establish the devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world.  I promise salvation to those who embrace it and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne".
