Mary Baker Eddy, in her textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, provides a spiritual interpretation of the holiest of all prayers, The Lord's Prayer. The interpretation came to her consciousness after years of dedicated bible studies, prayer, and healing. The first part goes like this:
Our Father which are in heaven
Our Father Mother God, all-harmonious
Hallowed be thy name.
Adorable One.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come. Thou art everpresent.
Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.

Truth is an interesting word. It seems to be manipulated, used, and abused by the Status Quo. Most people have not read in depth the bible. There are many references in the bible of God as Mother. Of course you will not get get this from mainstream Christian Churches, since they deal with their dogma. I am not Catholic, but even Catholics recognize the motherhood of God.

FIrst of all God is not a mother. The holy mother that Catholics refer to is Mary mother of Jesus. Secondly the other added things like the all harmonious, God is omnipotent, supreme and all others are not a part of the prayer. Granted everything is subject to interpretation, but I don't think it's right to consider God a mother.
