A Prayer of Parents for Their Children

Almighty God, You have called us to the holy

state of Matrimony and have shared with us 

Your gift of creation. We thank You for making

our love fruitful. May we be worthy representatives

of You, dear Lord, in forming our children

in Your knowledge and love.

You have given us children, Almighty God,

to teach in Your ways which will lead to their 

eternal home of heaven. May our children ever 

walk in the ways of Your commandments and

live according to the teachings of Your holy

Catholic Church. May our example, dear God,

be such as to inspire our children to grow into

the likeness of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May we 

be firm but kind in discipline. May we stand as

one united in authority so as to be consistent.

May we never confuse permissiveness with

love. May we teach our children respect for

Your authority in ourselves and in all Your

representatives upon earth.

May our home be as a Church, for You, Lord

 Jesus Christ, are present wherever two or three

are gathered together in Your name. May

praises of God frequently rise from the lips

and hearts of our family and may we all one 

day be united in our eternal home.

Amen.

Thank you for your support. God bless you.
