Walking with Moms in Need is a nationwide initiative launched by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to support pregnant and parenting women who may be facing difficult circumstances. This Mother's Day, we can honor all mothers by taking the time to learn about this important program and praying for those who are struggling.
Through Walking with Moms in Need, local parishes and organizations are encouraged to reach out to pregnant and parenting women in their communities, offering practical assistance such as material resources, emotional support, and spiritual guidance. By coming together as a community, we can help ensure that every mother feels valued and supported during this important time in her life.
As we celebrate Mother's Day this year, let us remember all mothers - especially those who may be facing challenges - and consider how we can support them through programs like Walking with Moms in Need. Let us pray for their strength, courage, and resilience, knowing that every mother is a precious gift from God.
Below is a quote from a thankful mother.
Words can truly not describe how Walking with Moms has really helped and impacted me and my daughters life. When I was first introduced to walking with Mom’s, I was really in a bad spot in my life. I was making so many phone calls every day and going to resource centers with absolutely no luck. When I was introduced to Walking with Moms I truly had no idea how much they can really help you. Not only is the program very helpful but all the women that are involved in this program have been very helpful and kind. I would recommend any mothers out there that are struggling and feel there is no hope to reach out to Walking out with Mom’s. from, S.C.
Consider Praying this prayer
O Blessed Mother,
you received the good news of the incarnation of Christ,
your Son, with faith and trust.
Grant your protection to all pregnant mothers facing difficulties.
Guide us as we strive to make our parish communities
places of welcome and assistance for mothers in need.
Help us become instruments of God's love and compassion.
Mary, Mother of the Church,
graciously help us build a culture of life
and a civilization of love,
together with all people of good will,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.
Amen
