A Father's Blessing
Father,
I thank you for the gift of my family for whom I now pray and upon whom
I now ask you to shower your blessings.
With St. Joseph as my guide, may I always be ready to spend my life for
them.
Bless my wife whom you have given to me as my spouse, sharing in your
wondrous work of creation. May I see her as my equal and treat her with
the love of Christ for his Church. May Mary be her guide and help her to
find your peace and your grace.
Bless my children with your life and presence. May the example of your
son be the foundation upon which their lives are built, that the Gospel
may always be their hope and support.
I ask you, Father, to protect and bless my family. Watch over it so that
in the strength of your love its members may enjoy prosperity, possess
the gift of your peace and, as the Church alive in this home, always
bear witness to your glory in the world.
Amen.
