On Catechetical Sunday, we not only prayed for our catechists, but also for our parents, grandparents, and guardians who are the first and best teachers of the faith in the lives of their children. This is the blessing we gave them at the masses this past weekend:
God our Father,
as we celebrate Catechetical Sunday,
we pray that you let your peace settle within the hearts
of our mothers, fathers, grandparents, and guardians.
Give them strength and wisdom
as they care for their children
and teach them the faith.
Show them how to raise their families
with patience and tenderness.
Give them strength during times of greatest difficulty
and help them to recognize the little joys
that are a part of every day.
May they grow in wisdom, understanding and grace.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who is one
with you and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.
AMEN.
