Almighty God, you know what it is like to be both Mother and Father to us all.
We ask you, the source and sustainer of all life, to bless these parents in the role you have set before them.
Get their lips with the wisdom to speak the truth so it can be heard.
Gift their ears with sensitivity as they listen to the needs of their children.
Gift their souls with the faith radiating your ultimate presence and their life.
Gift their minds with patience and understanding to handle the changing needs and demands place before them each day.
Guide our hearts as they seek out and reconcile the areas of conflict and pain that may exist.
And through all these, may your abundant blessings continue to affirm and support all they do as parents.
We asked this blessing upon each of them, in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. – A prayer for world youth day.
