Jesus' Grandparents


Almighty God, heavenly Father, we remember in thanksgiving this day the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary; and we pray that we all may be made one in the heavenly family of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Thank you also, dear Lord, for the blessing of the grandparents in our lives. Please bless them in return for the love, care and concern with which they shower us. Keep them close to you, guide and protect them, safeguard their physical, spiritual and emotional well-being and let them experience deeply the love their family has for them.

Sts. Anne and Joachim, grandparents of Our Lord, pray for us!
