Parents’ Prayer

Most Loving Father, the example of parenthood, Teach us what to give and what to withhold. Show us when to reprove and when to praise. Make us gentle and considerate, yet firm and watchful. Keep us from weak indulgence, or from great severity. Give us the courage to be disliked sometimes by our children when we must do necessary things which are displeasing in their eyes. Give us the imagination to enter their world in order to understand and guide them. Give us all the virtues we need to lead them by word and example in the path of righteousness.
