As a young woman,
Mary Sumner took
a special interest
in women and
their families.
When she
started
meeting
with
mothers
of the
parish
in 1876,
Mary wrote
the first
Mothers'
Union prayer.
The current
prayer, like the
original, focuses
on the real concerns
and needs of women
throughout the world.

The Wave of Prayer is
an offering of prayer
from and for Mothers'
Union around the
world. It is
something that
concerns
every
member
as all take
part
in prayer
for Mothers'
Union in
each diocese
of the Anglican
Communion in
turn. Specific
days in the year
are therefore
allocated to each
diocese when prayers
are focused on their work and
needs.
