Probably a selfish prayer request

[bwhite06517]

I turn 65 this summer. Our two children have been married 6 years and 3 years respectfully; our oldest is 36; youngest is 34.

Proverbs 17:6 says

Children’s children are a crown to the aged

So, my prayer request:
I would like to be a Grandfather!!!
(and for my wife to a Grandmother!!!)

(I know it is their life, I have not directly asked them, just the desire of my heart …)

 

[ready]

Hail Mary…

Amen.

Mother Mary, please help these two sons to fulfill their vocations of marriage in a way most pleasing to our Lord. May they both be fruitful and mulitply. Amen.

Bruce,
I don’t think your prayer request is selfish at all! I think it is only right that you and your wife would like to see your children’s children’s children!

I will pray to St. Elizabeth and St. Sarah, as well as our Holy Mother, to intercede for your future grandchildren and you.

Your old friend,

Peggy
(happy grandmother of four)

A good prayer request. Will definitely be praying for you, especially at daily Mass!

 

[UpUpAndAway]

Remembering your intention in my daily prayers. God bless

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!

Our daughter and son-in-law just called - I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER!!!

Thank you for your prayers. (date of next March - so … real, real, real current - about the time of the request!!!)

Beloved Creator, turn the hearts of the parents towards the children; and the hearts of the children to the parents in loving thanks. AMEN

Not selfish at all!

Saint Gerard Prayer for Parenthood

O good St Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and wonder worker of our day, confidently I call upon you and seek your aid. On earth you always fulfilled God’s designs; help **the children of bwhite06517 ** now to do the holy will of God. Implore the Master of Life, from whom all paternity proceeds, to render them fruitful in offspring, that they may raise up children to God in this life, and in the world to come, heirs to the Kingdom of His Glory. Amen.
