Children's Prayers for their Parents
It is good to give thanks to the Lord: Lord you blessed us with good parents to care and show love.
we remember our parents on this feast of Saints Joaquim and Anne, we would like all the families to spend some time together in prayer. The children could make this a special occasion to thank God for the gift of their parents.
We are celebrating Parents' Day today. Our parents are special gifts to us in this life. From them we learn what it means to love by being loved. As we come before the Lord, let us give thanks and recall some of the ways we have failed to appreciate our parents for the many things they do for us.
We listen attentively
to God speaking to us through the letter of
Children, be
obedient to your parents in the Lord - that is your duty. The first commandment
that has a promise attached to it is:
Honour your
father and mother, and the promise is: and you will prosper and have a long
life in the land. And parents, never drive your children to resentment but in
bringing them up correct them and guide them as the Lord does.

Jesus
our Saviour, we beg of you, by your love for your holy Mother, to bless always
and in every manner, all Mothers and Fathers throughout the world. Behold them
toiling and praying for the children whom God has entrusted to their care. See
the tenderness of their hearts, the yearning love for their sons and daughters.

their human weakness, supply yourself by your divine wisdom, whatever is
wanting to them, of the firmness and prudence needed for the guidance of their
children.

may reign in their households, and the spirit of God may govern all their words
and their works. Remember, dear Jesus, the Heavenly peace of your little home
