Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)

Sheran Harper Worldwide President - 13 Sep 2022

 


May she rest in peace and rise in glory

08 Sep 2022

It is with deep sadness that I receive the news of the passing of our beloved Patron, Her Majesty The Queen.  On behalf of the Mothers’ Union members around the world, I join with the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in offering our love and sincere condolences to the entire Royal Family and all those dear to her.
 
Her Majesty has had a long and extraordinary life in which she saw our world change dramatically. Yet Her Majesty’s dedication and service to her country, the Church and Commonwealth remained steadfast and continued to be an inspiration to us all, keeping us together in all situations.
 
We give thanks to God for her being our Patron, for blessing her with special gifts for a life humbly dedicated to public service, her strong faith as she weathered many storms; her commitment and devotion to family life; and her great concern for communities and all people.
 
Her guidance and support of Mothers’ Union over the decades has enabled us to achieve so much in impacting communities and touching lives. During times of ongoing war and turmoil around the world, she reminded us of the healing power of forgiveness, peace and reconciliation.  This inspired us and encouraged us to work for harmony and good relationships among all people in our communities.
 
Her spirit of acceptance to change and transformation through the years and her ability to take others on the journey of change is testimony to her great strength as a leader and her faith in change that is inevitable.  This outlook on life strengthened Mothers’ Union members to embrace all opportunities of change and transformation that truly reflect the worldwide nature of our movement.
 
We will always remember her intelligence and humility in making wise decisions, her charm and sense of humour, and her sincere caring and gentleness. Hers was a life born to serve God and all humanity and her legacy that will live on in so many ways and in the hearts of all Mothers’ Union members for generations to come.

On behalf of the Worldwide Board of Trustees, Staff and Members all around the world, we pray for the peaceful resting of Her Majesty’s soul with the sure hope of her rising in glory.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Romans 8:38a (NLT)

Sheran Harper, Worldwide President, Mothers’ Union
