Blessing based on The Universal Prayer for Grandparents
composed by Pope Benedict XV1—2008
Lord Jesus,
you were born of the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on all the grandparents who are
gathered here this evening/morning.
We ask you to send your blessings upon them,
for they are a source of strength
for their families, for the Church and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older,
may they continue to be for their families
strong pillars of Gospel faith,
guardians of noble family values,
and living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Enable them to be teachers of wisdom and courage,
that they may pass on to their grandchildren
the ability to hear God’s voice speaking in their hearts.
Lord Jesus,
help all families and all members of our society
value the presence and role of grandparents.
May they never be ignored or excluded,
but always encounter respect and love.
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed
all the years of their life.
We pray this in the name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
