A BLESSING ON ALL OUR GRANDPARENTS THIS WEEKEND, AS WE CELEBRATE STS. JOACHIM AND ANNE, GRANDPARENTS OF JESUS. A grandparent's prayer: dear Lord, I ask a special blessing on my grandchildren. Fill them with your grace, and bless them with every gift they need to live their lives in faithful obedience to you. Touch their hearts and minds and fill them with wisdom, knowledge, hope, and understanding. Help them to be loving, kind, and compassionate. Be their protector, and send your holy angels to lead them and guide them as they go through their day. Bless their lives with peace, joy, and true happiness. Send loving friends into their lives who will be blessings to them. Keep them healthy and whole spiritually, relationally, emotionally, and physically. Let your light shine brightly in them and may they bring love and joy to all they meet. Bless them with healthy self-images and may they always know how precious they are to you and me. May they grow to be responsible, generous, humble people of integrity and good sense. Lord, I place them in your loving care, and in the loving care of Our Lady, and trust that you will always lead them, guide them, and love them. Amen.
