Almighty God, you have called us to the holy state of Matrimony and have shared with us your gift of creation. We thank you for making our love fruitful. May we be wrothy representatives of you, dear Lord, in forming our children in your knowledge and love.
You have given us children, Almighty God, to teach in your ways which will lead to their eternal home of heaven. may our children ever walk in the way of your commandments and live according to the teachings of your Church. May our example inspire our children to grow into the likeness of your Son, Jesus Christ. May we be firm but kind in discipline. May we stand as one, united in authority so as to be consistent. May we never confuse permissiveness with love. May we teach our children respect for your authority in ourselves and in all your representatives upon earth.
May our home be as a Church, for you, Lord Jesus Christ, are present wherever two or three are gathered together in your Name. May the praises of God frequently rise from the lips and hearts of our family and may we all one day be united in our eternal home. Amen.
