of Mother’s Day, it being pointed
out that the example for all time
of true motherhood was Mary Im
maculate, the Mother, of Christ.
"And while today,” said the speak
er, "we honor individual mother
hood, some mingled with the living
and some numbered with the dear
departed, let us not forget to turn
our thoughts to her who, in the
words which fell from the lips of
the dying Christ, was constituted
and is the mother of all the faith
ful.”
The recitation of the Rosary fol
lowed by Benediction of the Bless
ed Sacrament brought to a fitting
close the first observance of Moth
