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.

天主之僕永井隆與森山綠 個人敬禮的禱文

仁慈的天父啊!

祢從不把祢的子女單獨留在人生旅程上。 

我們感謝祢把永井隆和他的新娘森山綠

賜給眾信徒和全世界。

森山綠帶領她的配偶與你相遇後, 

謙遜地獻身於她的召叫, 

給丈夫顯示完備愛德的道路。

他們一起懷著信賴服膺祢的旨意, 

使人看出祢上智的安排

如何從邪惡中為人取得好處, 

為向受創傷的人

宣揚希望和見證愛德。

妻子去世後, 

永井隆的心靈陷於深刻的貧乏, 

他在原子彈摧殘的荒野, 

經驗到祢友誼的溫柔, 

他見證恩寵,以百倍的恩寵, 

引發人們對生命的細味, 

和重建的勇氣。

藉著永井隆夫婦的轉禱, 

求祢賜給我們眾人恩寵, 

去回應我們個人成聖的召叫, 

並且,如果這是為祢更大的光榮

賜給我們所求的恩寵……

祈望這對夫婦快將納入諸聖的行列。

因我們的主基督。
