Prayers for the Week
A Child's Prayer for Grandparents
Dear God,
Please bless my grandparents.
Thank you for the life they gave my parentsand for the life, they give to me.
For the ways they helped me and made me strong, I give thanks.
For the ways, they love me no matter what, I rejoice.
For the ways, they have paved the roadthat leads me here, I am grateful.
Let them grow in wisdom and joy in life.
Let them find peace and rest from their work.
Let them be healed of every sickness and pain.
And let them see with their own eyes your gloryand the love of their children and grandchildren.
Bless them always until they come to rest in you.
Amen.
Lord Jesus,
You were born of the Virgin Mary, the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne. Look with love on grandparents the world over.
Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families, for the Church and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older, may they continue to be for their families strong pillars of Gospel faith, guardians of noble domestic ideals, living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage, that they may pass on to future generations the fruits of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Lord Jesus,
Help families and societyto value the presence and role of grandparents.
May they never be ignored or excluded, but always encounter respect and love.
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomedin all the years of life which you give them.
Mary, Mother of all the living, keep grandparents constantly in your care, accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage, and by your prayers, grant that all familiesmay one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland, where you await all humanity for the great embrace of life without end.
Amen!
Please pray for our students in Years 3 and 4 who are preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.
