Dear Brothers,

Greetings on Mothers’ Day.

I take this opportunity to share a pastoral word, a word of wisdom gained through hindsight, with each and every male with children:

On Mothers’ Day, may I encourage you to remember the mother of your children.

Yes, I know the ‘husbandly excuse’ for not remembering your bride on Mothers’ Day: ‘I love you, Darling, but you are my wife, not my mother’.

However, please DON’T SAY IT!

Saying ‘Happy Mothers’ Day’ to the mother of your children is just a wise husbandly thing to do 

Love the mothers, enjoy the day.

Shalom

The Bishop
