In Honor of Mothers' Day


| File Photo

The poem in this week’s issue is one that I believe best befits the commemoration of this beautiful upcoming holiday—a piece in which I pay homage to THE

GREATEST OF ALL MOTHERS, past, present, and future.

In Praise of Our Blessed Mother

Of all women

You and You alone

art The Mother of God

(The All Holy Thotokos)

and—

a mother

by nature,

ceaselessly praying

for us,

leaving no one

unaided

who flees

to Your side—

for You are as one

having experienced

all the hardships

of earthly life—

seeing every tear

hearing every groan

every entreaty

directed to

You!

Glory be to Thee!

Glory be to Thee!

Glory be to Thee.
