Ser Mãe

Being a Mother
Being a mother is a gift from God
Being a mother is touching the sky
Being a mother is the greatest gift
It's winning the greatest of trophies
I thank you, oh Lord
For this great gift of giving life
And I pray to our mother
For her intercession, for our family
Oh Mary, I consecrate to you the child
That I carry in my womb with love
May he grow up healthy
In wisdom, in grace, and with vigor
Come, oh mother, teach me to educate my child
In faith and with tenderness, may she be very happy
And in her life, may she do what your son says
Oh God, teach me to be a good mother
