So many heart-broken parents cry out to You, Lord, asking for healing of their children’s lives; asking for their return to You and for the salvation of their souls; asking for their unholy and unhealthy choices to be abandoned for choices that healthy and wise; grieving over their marital and lifestyle choices; over their financial and health difficulties; over their substance abuse; over seemingly wasted opportunities and lives; over grandchildren whose welfare is neglected and relationships fractured.
All their sorrow, all their tears, their disturbed nights and trouble waking, I offer You that in Your mercy You will hear and grant their prayers for the true good of their children, and their children’s children.
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end
Amen.
