Oh Father of unwavering love, my heart turns to You to adore you once again and tell you how grateful I am for all your wonderful works in me. Because your presence and your ways of taking care of me are expressed in the caress of my children, in the smile of my parents and my brothers, in the concern and tenderness of my grandparents.
Thank you for the life of my grandparents Lord, because through their stories, their great experiences and their great love, I learn from them. I feel so blessed to have them, to have shared with them, because I feel like my older parents. Protect them dear God, they are a great source of wisdom and growth for all families.
Father of mercy, cover with your mantle the life of my grandparents and that of the grandparents of the whole world, because their gaze is full of infinite goodness like yours, with the precise words for each situation and lips that share hundreds of pieces of advice that they prudently show me so that I don’t make mistakes in my walk, to make me mature as a man, as your son.
Lord look with compassion on all the second parents of the earth, who do not lose the essence of being the pillars of society. Thank you for making them so affectionate and noble, because each story has a valuable treasure for life, traditions and customs that make us proud of who we are as a person.
Make them always be the teachers of wisdom, that through their courage, they can transmit from generation to generation to the youth of now, to the future fruits of the new community, and thus strengthen our minds and mature our spirit with their wonderful experiences. .
If at some point, they behave radically opposite to what they were, help us to be patient, because as the years go by they become like children, they get a little involved in doing many things so as not to feel useless, they don’t do it out of evil. Help us to treat them much more gently, for we too were little children in their arms.
May we never be ungrateful to them, nor have the desire to abandon them under any circumstances, may we always treat them with respect, with greater attention in love and mercy. Help all the grandparents to live serenely and to be welcomed during all the years that You give them.
Who like them my Lord, because their hugs and their pampering are unique, we never lack. Who like them blessed God to speak wisdom and selfless love that is the best refuge for grandchildren and all the people who need a coat.
Fill your lives with deep joy my God and if your heart is hurt by wounds from the past, restore them Lord, touch and cleanse them of all damage they may have suffered so that they are only footprints on the path of which help them to be strong, with bad memories away from their minds.
Have mercy on the grandparents who have been abandoned in nursing homes or on the streets, soften the ungrateful hearts of their children so that they remember all the love with which they were raised, that they forgive their mistakes Lord, because no one is born knowing how to be parents and that through your mercy, may they welcome them back into their homes and into their lives.
Lord of hope, teach all families in society to value the presence and life of all grandparents. May they be accompanied with full willingness to continue the purposes you have traced in their lives, through prayer they may be witnesses of all our achievements.
Embrace them in your absolute love God the Father, make them feel happy, because they are also your children And it gives us life to be able to listen to them. May we repay all that love with gratitude and care, your love has left us marked and every word of encouragement helps us not to give up before the adversities that life presents us. Bless them today and always my Lord, in the name of your Son Jesus, Amen.
