To all mothers and those who wish to be mothers but have known loss and grief along that journey, you are special every day, but today we all pause to reflect on that, say thank you and recognise your beauty. You are fashioned in the image of God and embody many of the Divine’s most wonderful attributes that would hardly be known if it weren’t for you. Through your wonderful presence we catch glimpses of who God is.

Today we celebrate you. Today we laugh with you, cry with you and serve you. May you know your value.
