Mother’s Day in Quarantine While the entire world is in quarantine, we are all
searching for creative ideas to celebrate this year’s Mother’s
Day. Some of you are heartbroken because you are unable to
spend time with your mothers and grandmothers who are in
nursing homes and care facilities, or even travel to see them.
We all had heartfelt plans for celebrating Mother’s Day.
Twelve students were preparing to receive Jesus for the first
time in First Holy Communion on Mother’s Day. After two and
half years of waiting, I was preparing to return home to India
and see my mother on May 18th. This year’s Mother’s Day is
also very special to me because my mother gave birth to me
on this day in 1977. Celebrating Mother's Day during a
quarantine is difficult for us all, but Mother Mary stands as
model of how to accept everything as it is. “Be it done to me
according to Thy will”.
On this Mother’s Day, three ‘mothers’ come to my mind;
First, my mother and your mother - and all others
who became a mother to someone in one or other ways.
Motherhood is not only a physical ability, but also the love,
care and sacrifice behind raising a child. Mother’s Day is all
about celebrating the woman who raised you and shaped you
into the person you are today. From all the packed lunches
with napkin notes, to the bandages and kisses after falling off
your bike, being the first one to cry at your graduation– your
mom was there for it all. It is important to thank her for all the
love and work she has put in through the years.
Second, Mother Mary. Mother's Day has been
celebrated as a national holiday in the United States on the
second Sunday of May since 1914. The devotion to Mary, the
mother of God and our spiritual mother, in the month of May
gives this holiday depth for Catholics that goes far beyond
giving flowers or candy on Mother's Day. "God, creator and
lord of the universe, chose to put himself — tiny, needy and
helpless — into the nurturing and watchful hands of a human
mother. Since then, every act of mothering — both physical
and spiritual — in every time and every corner of the world
recollects Mary’s" (Anonymous). Mary was the last and
greatest gift of Jesus to his beloved disciple and to the entire
Church. “...Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your
mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his
home” (John 19:26, 27). She was a silent witness for all the
sufferings her Son went through but for her Resurrection was
