SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY10, 2015 Dear Friends,

A Happy and Blessed Mother�’s Day to all our mothers. Thank you for all you do, for who you are, and continue to be. May Mary, our patroness and heavenly mother continue to bless our parish with a mother�’s love. Have a great week!

May God be Praised, Fr. Dominic ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ *

This weekend we celebrate Mother�’s Day, a day we honor our mothers, living and deceased. It is also a day we honor Motherhood in all its forms and circumstances. On Mother�’s Day and throughout the month of May, we honor Jesus�’ mother and our mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. As we honor mothers, I thought it would be interesting to see how this day came about. Here is a brief history of Mother�’s Day.

The earliest history of Mothers Day dates back to the ancient annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to maternal goddesses. The Greeks used the occasion to honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.

Ancient Romans, too, celebrated a spring festival, called Hilaria, dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess. It may be noted that ceremonies in honour of Cybele began some 250 years before Christ was born. The celebration made on the Ides of March by making offerings in the temple of Cybele lasted for three days and included parades, games, and masquerades. The celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were banished from Rome.

Early Christians celebrated a Mother�’s Day of sorts during the festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ. In England the holiday was expanded to include all mothers. It was then called Mothering Sunday.

The more recent history of Mothers day dates back to 1600�’s in England. Here a Mothering Sunday was celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter) to honor mothers. After a prayer service in church to honor Virgin Mary, children brought gifts and flowers to pay tribute to their own mothers.

Anna Jarvis is recognized as the Founder of Mothers Day in US. Though Anna Jarvis never married and never had kids, she is also known as the Mother of Mothers Day, an apt title for the lady who worked hard to bestow honor on all mothers.

Anna Jarvis got the inspiration of celebrating Mothers Day from her own mother, Mrs. Anna Marie Reeves Jarvis, in her childhood. As activist and social worker, Mrs. Jarvis used to express her desire that someday someone must honor all mothers, living and dead, and pay tribute to the contributions made by them.

A loving daughter, Anna never forgot her mother�’s word and when her mother died in 1905, she resolved to fulfill her mother�’s desire of having a mother�’s day. Growing negligent attitude of adult Americans towards their mothers and a desire to honor her mother�’s soared her ambitions.

To begin with, Anna sends Carnations in the church service in Grafton, West Virginia to honor her mother. Carnations were her mother�’s favorite flower and Anna felt that they symbolized a mother�’s pure love. Later Anna along with her supporters wrote letters to people in positions of power lobbying for the official declaration of Mothers Day holiday. The hard work paid off. By 1911, Mother�’s Day was celebrated in almost every state in the Union and on May 8. 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother�’s Day.

A Thought from Blessed Miriam Teresa:

Love is the only thing God asks from us. After all, that is not surprising. We ourselves crave one thing alone - love�… The soul is made to the image and likeness of God.

(G.P., p. 35)

Please pray for her Canonization and visit our new painting of her located in the vestibule of our church.

Prayer for Canonization

Most Holy and Blessed Trinity, Whom Sister Miriam loved so ardently, grant that we, like her, may become ever more conscious of Your Divine Presence within our souls. We implore You to show signs that Your humble servant enjoys glory with You in Heaven, and to hasten the day when we may render her a public tribute of our veneration and love. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
