Our Mission of Month for April is a monetary collection for Orphan Grain Train. Orphan Grain Train is a 501c3 Nonprofit Christian volunteer network that shares personal and material resources with needy people in America and around the world. Grain Train volunteers gather donations of clothing, medical supplies, food, Christian literature, and other aid to meet real needs. The Orphan Grain Train movement is a loving response to Jesus Christ’s example as a servant and His love for us.

A prayer for Christians on this day in which the secular calendar honors motherhood:

O Almighty God, who sent forth Your only-begotten Son to be born of a woman, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and who by His holy incarnation did, in truth, cause her to be the very Mother of God, thereby crowning and honoring all motherhood, grant Your perpetual favor and blessing upon all of our mothers, that they, in turn, may be a blessing to all their children. Help them recognize the holy office You have entrusted to them and strengthen them to serve faithfully within it. Grant that their motherly service may not be burdensome but rather joyful and glad. Comfort all women who do not have children and those whose children are estranged from them, that their hope and confidence may ever remain in You in whom true joy is found. Bless the memory of mothers who have passed on from this vale of tears. Give us loving hearts that freely give thanks for our mothers, heartily forgive them where they have failed and fallen short, willingly obey them, and gladly honor them. Grant also to the Holy Christian Church, which is the Mother of us all, prosperity in faithfulness, that we, through Her pure milk of the Word, may gain everlasting joy; through the Son of Mary, Your only Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
