Good Monday morning, my friends.
Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them by placing his hands on them. (Mark 10:16)
This is a beautiful prayer for our children by Thomas Aquinas. Pray this for your kids, regardless of their age. If you are not a parent, then pray for nieces, nephews, kids in your church, for my kids! Let your words be lifted to the throne room of God.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Grant to my children your grace, most merciful Jesus, that it may be with them and in them now and to the end of their lives.
Grant that they may always desire and will those things that are most acceptable and most dear to you.
Let your will be theirs, and let their will ever follow yours and agree perfectly with it.
Let their willing and not-willing be in complete unison with your will, and let them not be able to will anything but what you will, nor will not what you will not, in Jesus’ name, amen.
