Mothers Prayers offer to unite all women (you don't need to have children of your own) who wish to pray for their

children, grandchildren, Godchildren, Priests, all children and all Mothers Prayers groups throughout the world. Mothers Prayers was founded in 1995 by two grandmothers; Veronica Williams and Sandra who were concerned for their children and the kind of world they were growing up in. They were inspired by the Holy Spirit to pray and began with a small group of five mothers.  Then followed a booklet of inspired prayers to guide their weekly meetings, a booklet, unchanged today, twenty years later, translated into many languages and used in over 100 countries. 

We are blessed in Mothers Prayers where Christians of different traditions can join together to pray for their children.  We have experienced so many blessings and wonderful answers to prayer.  We obey a strict code of confidentiality to enable mothers to feel free to share if they wish, we do not give advice, but come together surrendering all our burdens into the safe loving Hands of God.  The Spirituality is of Total Surrender, one of the prayers is "Lord we give ourselves entirely to You". The Holy Family are the Patrons of Mothers Prayers.
