veiled at the National Grandparents Pilgrimage, Pope Benedict XVI’s Prayer for Grandparents
This prayer is in honour and gratitude to them for all they have done for us down through the ages particularly in the Transmission of the Faith. We hope it brings you, your family and your friends many graces and blessings.
This Universal Prayer for Grandparents was composed by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in 2008
PRAYER FOR GRANDPARENTS
Lord Jesus,
you were born of the Virgin Mary, the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over. Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for 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, guardian of noble domestic ideals, living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage, that they may pass on to future generations the fruits of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Lord Jesus,
help families and society to value the presence and roles of grandparents.
May they never be ignored or excluded, but always encounter respect and love.
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed in all the years of life which you give them.
Mary, Mother of all the living, keep grandparents constantly in your care, accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage, and by your prayers, grant that all families may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland, where you await all humanity for the great embrace of live without end.
Amen!

this is indeed wise words from the pope, and he states children from all parts of the world, no matter creed or colour, and this is as it should be children do not understand the domestic matter's who done what who wronged who they are innocent children who only want affection from all who love them and that is how it should be all arguments should be settled by the adults only and children not used as weapons for to get back at someone who has wronged, if they only realised the hurt that they cause the very child/ren that they love dearly they are so hellbent at getting revenge it blinds there thinking so much that they really dontrealise or care how much damage they are doing to a childs emotions why because there miund is full off hate this man in his message talks only off love for all children and that is the way it should be.
