Prayer for the Families Eternal
life-giving God, you've
made the family as the nucleus of every nation. Man and
wife you have entrusted the ability to give life to children and
thus to maintain the stream of human life on our earth. You
are the source of all life-affirming forces and deep appreciation and give
man and woman an intimate sense of belonging. That’s
why parents connected to you can fully affirm their children and
accept them from you as a unique gift and a demanding task. Filled
with your unconditional YES to each of us humans parents can also perceive
their children in their originality and respect them in their dignity as
“children of God”. As
believers they know that
their children are not their possessions and their property, but
that they are trusted to them from you, to
feed them physically, mentally and spiritually, so that
they grow up to become independent, self-confident and loving people and
later find their own place in the world. Heavenly
Father, give man and woman in marriage a deep
respect for each other and a
loving bond with each other, to
make their children feel comfortable in their community, that
they have a happy home with her parents and
always respect father and mother as a
mediator of God for the gift of their existence. Fill,
O God, the fathers and mothers with your Holy Spirit, so
that they may explain to their children the small and the great world, show
them the right order of human coexistence and
help them find their inner world of emotions and to
understand their emotional maturation processes better and better. So
bless, O God, our families, that
they may grow and mature in faith, in a
hopeful way of life and in
loving care for himself and for the great community of all living beings. Amen. Manfred Hanglberger (www.hanglberger-manfred.de) Link to share: https://hanglberger-manfred.de/en-prayer-for-the-families.htm |
