Don’t get me wrong. I’m not anti-Mother’s Day.

I once read the declaration that every day is Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in Judaism because of the command to honor one’s parents. This, however, is an oversimplification.

According to the Quran (Islam's Holy Scripture) and Sunnah (actions and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh), treating our parents with respect and love is an act of worship.

To Cyrus-Franklin, being able to worship with his mother is an example of how COVID-19 "has created a whole different opportunity for us to collaborate and share in ministry together."

As Mother’s Day draws near, I pause from the work around the house and yard and your brother’s homework. I take your little blanket out of my hidden drawer and hold it. The blanket that will never touch your skin.

At this time, when it could be argued that maternity is in decline, Mary Shelley’s classic work of literature, “Frankenstein,” celebrating its 200th anniversary this year, invites us to reflect on the deeper importance of mothers in our lives.

Immaculate Heart Retreat Center will celebrate Mother's Day next weekend with its annual all-you-can eat champagne brunch.
