On May 08, Good Shepherd Sunday, we also observe the day of our mothers. Since it occurs on the second Sunday in May, during the Easter Season, the Mass of the Sunday is always celebrated.
However, in order to provide some recognition of this holiday, model intercessions and a prayer over the people are provided here.
The intercessions are added to those of the day and maybe adapted as necessary. The prayer over the people may replace the solemn blessing of the Easter season.
The prayers, available in English and Kapampangan, are available here: https://bit.ly/MothersDayBlessings2022

Father Fer, was currently serving as the Rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Cabetican, Bacolor.
