The Friendship of Mothers

May our friendship honor our Lord.
May our friendship serve our families.
May our friendship bring joy to our husbands
and bear fruit in our work,
and in the hearts and minds of our families.
May our friendship draw compassion
and good council.
May it serve to nurture those we serve.
May the words we share prosper our vocation.

May god bless and honor our friendship
by giving us moments to magnify His glory in our deeds.

May Our Lady be a silent witness
to the charity that bears forth
from each meeting and each conversation.

May our friendship encourage our children
and be an example to them of all that is good
in women, wives, mothers and daughters.
We are daughters of the Good Shepherd
and may all who witness us in friendship
sing praises to God in thanksgiving for His Divine Providence.
He is the provider of our friendships
He fashions our friends and places them in our lives
and he calls us to love and cherish them.

In Thanksgiving, I return to Him the fruits of this friendship.
May our friendship always serve to honor Him in every form of expression.
Amen.
