Prayer of the Elderly, Pope Saint John Paul II

Grant, O Lord of life,
That we may savor every season of our lives as a gift
filled with promise for the future.
Grant that we may lovingly accept your will,
and place ourselves each day in your merciful hands.
And when the moment of our definitive “passage” comes,
grant that we may face it with serenity,
without regret for what we shall leave behind.
For in meeting you,
after having sought you for so long,
we shall find once more every authentic good
which we have known here on earth,
in the company of all who have gone before us
marked with the sign of faith and hope.
Mary, Mother of pilgrim humanity,
pray for us “now and at the hour of our death.”
Keep us ever close to Jesus,
your beloved Son and our brother,
the Lord of life and glory. Amen!

A Prayer for Youth

Heavenly Father, I pray for the young people of today. May they be filled with a passion for truth, justice, and goodness. I pray for their protection from the pressures and temptations of the world, and that they would find their identity in You. May they grow in wisdom and strength, and may they be leaders who will bring positive change to society. I pray that they would be rooted in Your Word and that they would be examples of love, kindness, and courage to those around them.

1 Timothy 4:12

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” Lord, help our youth to be strong in their faith and lead by example. Amen.

Prayer

May they grow into leaders who make a positive impact on society. Fill them with courage, wisdom, and passion to pursue the good and bring Your love to the world. Amen.

A Prayer for Mildness When Correcting Children

Divine Savior, who dwelt for three years among your disciples as a father among his children, how much did you have to suffer from their imperfections and failings; how calculated was often their conduct to excite impatience and anger? And yet were always so indulgent to them, so kind, so mild! An unfriendly, hard, cruel word never passed your lips. May I be like you in my demeanor towards my children! I must, if I am your disciple, and I wish to save my soul. May I then learn from thee to be meek. When the misconduct of my children causes impatience and anger in me, help me to overcome these emotions, that I may not manifest them. Grant that I may be calm and dispassionate in correcting or punishing my children. For “the anger of man works not the justice of God.” O meek Jesus, have mercy on me! AMEN.

Thanksgiving for My Marriage (Husband)

Lord, from my whole heart I thank you for having lead me through your sacrament into the married state, sanctified my matrimonial union, and opened the treasures of your grace to me, that I might be able to meet the duties of my state of life, and to persevere in fidelity and love towards my wife, in conjugal purity, and to bring up my children in your Church, and thus to work out my salvation. I thank you for every grace by virtue of this sacrament I have received. I thank you for your protection and assistance, and for all good which you have granted me and mine. Praise be to thee for all eternity!

For all that I have failed to do as a Christian husband, forgive me in your infinite mercy and for the sake of your Son, Jesus. I am firmly resolved that, with your assistance, I will strive harder to fulfil my duties faithfully and conscientiously.

For my wife also I ask you favor and grace. Grant that we, so intimately united by your sacrament, may always be in the love and fear of God, that our married life be, as it should, an image of the intimate union of Christ with his holy Church, and lead us to eternal life. Remember also, O Lord, the children you have given us. Bless and protect them, grant them grace that they may live according to your will. Assist me that I may bring them up entirely for you.

I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN.

Mary, pray for us. St. Joseph, pray for us.

A Prayer for Families

Lord, I pray for families everywhere. I ask for Your blessings upon marriages, parents, and children. Strengthen the bond of love and unity within families, and may they be places of support, nurturing, and peace. Help parents to raise their children with wisdom and kindness, guiding them in the ways of the Lord. I pray for healing in broken families, and that Your grace and love will restore relationships. May families reflect Your love and be a source of strength and joy.

Ephesians 6:1-4

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother… Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” Lord, bless families with harmony and understanding. Amen.

Prayer

Father, I pray for every family. Strengthen the bonds of love between husbands and wives, parents and children. May families be places of refuge, where love, respect, and faith grow. Help parents to nurture their children with wisdom and patience, teaching them Your ways. For those who face challenges, bring healing and restoration to broken relationships. Let Your peace dwell within each home, and may families reflect Your love to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

奉獻世界於聖母進教之佑（3月24日）

至聖無玷童貞瑪利亞，我們溫良而大能的進教者之母，我們完全奉獻於妳，因而妳可引領我們歸向上主。我們把我們的神魂連同它的一切思想、我們的心靈連同它的一切情感、我們的身體連同它的一切感覺和力量都奉獻於妳，並許諾時常願意為天主最大的光榮和靈魂的得救而工作。

無可比擬的貞女，妳時常都是教會之母及進教之佑，尤其在這些日子，請繼續把妳自己這樣的顯示給我們。

請光照及堅強主教及司鐸，使他們時常團結，聽命於教宗這位不能錯誤的導師；請增加更多司鐸及修道聖召，因而亦透過他們，使耶穌基督的王國不斷臨現在我們中，並延伸至地極。

甘飴的母親，我們再一次懇求妳，時常以妳慈愛的眼目，關顧處於眾多危險中的青年、可憐的罪人以及臨終的病人。

瑪利亞啊！請成為眾人甘飴的希望、慈悲的母親、天國之門。偉大的天主之母啊！我們也為我們自己懇求妳。請教導我們效法妳的各樣美德，尤其是妳天使的端莊、深厚的謙遜和熱切的愛德。

瑪利亞進教之佑，請使我們都聚集在妳母親的外氅下。

請讓我們在誘惑時，趕快以信賴之心呼求妳：就是說，讓我們想到──妳是如此美好、溫良、親切，記起妳賦予敬禮妳的人那份愛──賞賜我們這樣的安慰，使我們在現世及臨終時，克勝我們靈魂的仇敵，因而在美麗的天堂裡我們能成為妳的冠冕。亞孟。
