A Prayer for Parents
O Lord, you understand the joys and sorrows, the fears and ongoings of
a mother's heart.
We ask you to look upon all mothers.
Wipe away their tears and cheer them with hope.
Shield them from the turbulence of this world.
Keep them true to their hearts and souls.
We ask your prayers for all parents, that they receive the grace to live in
the love of God
and bring up their children to know and love Him with all their hearts.
God, your love gives life to the world.
Bless and make holy all human love,
especially the life-giving love of husband and wife.
May your love fill the hearts and homes of all families,
so that the world may enjoy the peace and happiness.
