on this Mothers Day, God bless all our Mothers !

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." (Washington Irving) “That special power of loving that belongs to a woman is seen most clearly when she becomes a mother. Motherhood is the gift of God to women. How grateful we must be to God for this wonderful gift that brings such joy to the whole world, women and men alike!” (Blessed Mother Teresa) “The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral—a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation. . . What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this; to be a mother?” (Cardinal Mindzsenty)

"Look at the mothers who truly love their children: how many sacrifices they make for them. They are ready for everything, even to give their own blood so that their babies grow up good, healthy and strong". (St. Gianna, who was a doctor) «Молімося, щоб ніколи нашому народові не забракло жертовних матерів, які приймають дар життя, піклуються ним, чувають над ним, моляться за своїх дітей…. Богу дякувати за матерів, які не тільки дали кожному з нас життя, а й які передали своїм дітям дар віри, бо віра – дар життя вічного». І пригадав слова Івана Золотоустого: «Ви маєте обов’язок не тільки відкрити своїм дітям світ видимий, впровадивши їх у те життя, даючи їм необхідне виховання, освіту, але також маєте велике завдання відкрити перед ними двері світу невидимого, світу духовного життя, світу богопізнання, навчити їх зустріти у своєму житті живого Бога» (Блаженніший Святослав) «Let us pray that we would never lack generous mothers…. We thank the Lord for Mothers that not only gave each of us life, but who handed on to their children the gift of faith, because faith is—the gift of eternal life!.... As St. John Chrysostom taught - […] you have the great task of opening for them the doors to the unseen world, the world of the spiritual life, the world of knowledge of God, teaching them to meet in their life the living God!” (His Beatitude Sviatoslav)

Hosted by the Holy Eucharist UCBC, will be held this year on Wednesday, May 13th at 7:00 pm.

Please plan to attend!

MOTHER’S LOVE A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper

that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she

read it, and this is what it said: For cutting the grass: $5.00

For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00 For going to the store for you: $.50

Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25 Taking out the garbage: $1.00

For getting a good report card: $5.00 For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00

Total owed: $14.75 Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy

could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is

what she wrote: For the nine months I carried you while you were growing

inside me: No Charge

For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:

No Charge For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused

through the years: No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:

No Charge For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:

No Charge Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:

No Charge. When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his

mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.

National week for Life and the Family

Prayer for the National Week for Life and Family in Manitoba

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendour of true love,

to you we turn with trust. Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too,

may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel, and small Domestic

Churches. Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again

experience violence, rejection and division: may all who have been hurt or scandalized find ready

comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth,

make us once more mindful of the sacredness of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen.

In light of National week for Life and the Family, it is important to remember those whom have very little choices on how their lives may develop. Let us all keep the orphans of Ukraine in our prayers and at every opportunity help the charities that are directly involved!

In a country where the average standard of living has decreased by 80% over the last 20 years, poverty and sickness are brought on by the inability to provide adequate nutrition and healthcare. Least able to fend for themselves are the children who are have been abandoned and orphaned. The war Russia has inflicted upon Ukraine has had a direct impact! Thousands of kids have lost one or both parents and at least 60 children have been killed — random casualties of a brutal conflict between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists now in its second year. Countless other children have been wounded in the fighting. And an untold number are scarred emotionally by the unpredictable conflict that has pitted neighbor against neighbor. Ukraine's orphanages are underfunded, overcrowded and short of staff as a result of the war and the country's struggling economy. Many social workers have been let go and there are rumors more will be fired soon -- resulting in less help for children who really need it. Before the war began, about one million children lived in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, according to UNICEF. Of those, some 14,500 were already orphans or children deprived of parental care, with 2,600 living in state institutions.

100,000 orphans live in Ukraine’s 450 orphanages 100,000 more children are on the streets because the orphanages are full 10% of orphans commit suicide after leaving the orphanage before their 18th birthday 60% of the girls end up in prostitution 70% of the boys end up in crime Only 27% are able to find work
