Pray for My Grandsons

Pray for my grandsons that they make the right choices in life
and that they study hard in order to get a good education.
Please guide Dazan as he starts his first year of
college and away from home.
Dear Jesus, protect him and help him with school.
I also pray that he comes back home
to visit with his family that loves him unconditionally.
Dear Jesus, guide him today. Thank you Jesus.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord Is with thee,
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus;
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners … now,
And at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Morning Prayers

Father in Heaven, You love me.
You are with me night and day.
I want to love you always, In all I do and say.
I’ll try to please you, Father.
Bless me through the day.
Amen.

Jesus, keep me all this day.
When at school and when at play;
May I do the things I ought,
May I hate each evil thought;
Help me love and trust in Thee
Now and through eternity.
Amen.

I thank Thee, Lord, for sleep and rest,
For all the things that I love best,
Now guide me through another day
And bless my work and bless my play.
Lord, make me strong for noble ends,
Protect and bless my loving friends;
Of all mankind good Christians make.
All this I ask for Jesus’ sake.
Amen.

O Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here.
Ever this day, be at my side
to light, to guard, to rule, to guide.
Amen.

Night prayers

Now the light has gone away;
Jesus, listen while I pray.
Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me peaceful sleep.
Jesus, Saviour, wash away
All that has been wrong today;
Help me each and every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.
Let my near and dear ones be
Always near and dear to Thee.
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy home above.
Amen.

l praise to Thee, my God, this night
For all the blessings of the light:
O Keep me, keep me, King of kings,
Beneath Thine own almighty wings.
Amen.

Angels bless and angels keep,
Angels guard me while I sleep.
Bless my heart and bless my home,
Bless my spirit as I roam.
Guide and guard me through the night,
and wake me with the morning’s light.
Amen.

Prayers before meals

Bless us, O Lord,
And these, thy gifts,
Which of thy bounty,
We are about to receive

For food in a world where many walk in hunger;
For faith in a world where many walk in fear;
For friends in a world where many walk alone;
We give you thanks, O Lord.

For all Thy goodness did bestow;
May it increase our faith and lead us,
Our praise by godly lives to show;
That every deed and word may prove
We trust and own our Father’s love.

I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.

In the same Spirit, help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation.We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

O my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
Amen.

The act of contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. And I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven, and the pains of Hell but,most of all, because I love Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life.
Amen.

Our Father

Our Father, who art In heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass Against us
And Lead us not Into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen

With the New Year upon us, this is an excellent time to make or renew our commitment to be intentional and specific about praying for our grandchildren.

While praying for our grandchildren absolutely benefits the child, it also provides benefits to our relationship with our grandchild, and to us (the pray-er) personally. Consider the following:

Praying for my grandchild(ren):

is my call and my responsibility

is a long-term commitment

helps me to be involved in the lives of my grandchildren

allows God to accomplish His purpose in and through them

has an eternal impact on my grandchildren’s lives

is one of the greatest investments I will ever make into their lives

can stop Satan’s schemes and powers toward my grandchildren

invites me to bring all my concerns about my grandchildren to Him

permits me to release to God what I cannot control myself

closes the distance gap

is an honor and a privilege

draws me closer to God and nourishes my spirit

strengthens my relationship with my grandchildren

displays the faithfulness, sovereignty, and goodness of God

helps me play a major part in stabilizing and influencing the lives of my grandchildren

is the single, greatest thing I can do to express my love for my grandchildren

helps equip my grandchildren to stand fast in the faith

WOW! What a role for us to play. I pray that you will embrace this God designed role for your life today and make this the year you become more intentional about and specific in your prayers for your grandchild(ren).
