Collects
Jesus, our present help,
Thank you for the precious gift of mothers,
For the comfort and assurance they bring us.
May we honour, respect and treasure them.
Be a mother to those that need one,
And surround them with your loving arms.
Like our mothers,
May we give ourselves to prayer,
Be uncompromising believers,
Minister healing to those around us,
And be people who will rise up to the challenges of today,
Amen.

Fa’afetai tele le Atua mo lau mealofa taua o tina, le mafana ma le faamaoni o le latou tausiga ia i matou. Ia matou faatauaina ma tausi fa’apelepele ma le fa’aloalo ia i latou.
Ia matou opo i lima o le alofa le ua leai se tina, avea ai i matou ma matua.
Ia matou faataitai ia i lo latou ola tatalo, fa’atuatua, ma le faamaoni, ola auauna e molimoli atu ai le filemu, faapea ma le toa i taimi e fetaiai ma lui o lenei talutalu fou.
Amene.
