God
our Father,
you
govern and protect your people
and
shepherd them with a father’s love.
You
place a father in our families and in our communities
As
a sign of your love, care, and protection.
We
pray for our fathers with us today that they may be
faithful
to the example shown to us in sacred Scripture:
steadfast
in love,
forgiving
and merciful,
sustaining
their families,
and caring
for the poor and the oppressed.
We
pray for wisdom for our fathers.
that
they may encourage and guide their children
and
members of our community.
Guide
our fathers and grandfathers with the Spirit of your love
May
they grow in holiness and draw their family ever closer to you.W
We
ask this blessing for our fathers and grandfathers gathered with us today –
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. AMEN.
