Saint Teresa of Calcutta left us many beautiful prayers, but one of the simplest and most powerful is just a few words long: “Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.” Mother Teresa herself recommended this short prayer for moments of distress. She once said, “If you ever feel distressed during your day, call upon Our Lady—just say this simple prayer… I must admit, this prayer has never failed me.” In only a few seconds, the prayer reaches straight to Mary’s heart. It does not require long formulas or perfect conditions. It simply asks the Mother of Jesus to act as a mother right now—in the middle of fatigue, anxiety, or difficulty. The words are easy to remember and can be whispered anywhere: at work, in traffic, while caring for children, or in quiet moments of need. By turning to Mary in this way, we honor both her and her Son, trusting that a mother’s care is always available. This brief prayer remains one of Mother Teresa’s most practical gifts—an invitation to lean on Mary’s motherhood in the very moment we need it most. #perafeed #followmeonPerafeed
