Children's Prayers for their Parents

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 St. Paul to the Ephesians (Eph 6: 1 - 4) 

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.

Closing Prayer: 

 

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. See the many trials, the anxieties and sorrows which multiply upon them. Pity 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.

 

Help them to make their homes holy and pleasant for their children, so that peace 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 in Nazareth and bless all homes. May the spirit of love and harmony prevail in all homes, so that all its members stay united and grow in love of God. Amen.

 3 Hail Mary .....
