In the Name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy
Spirit:
O HOLY LORD, King of heaven and earth, look down
with mercy and compassion from the height of Thy
holy dwelling , upon our home. Grant health and
everything good to my Father and Mother, so that
they may take care of us and everyone in our
household. And help us all to do what is good and
pleasing to Thee. Amen.
Another prayer:
O LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR GOD,
Who in Thy childhood and youth in Nazareth was
submissive and obedient to Thy Most Pure Mother and
Thy holy Provider and Guardian Joseph, leaving us an
image of a pure childhood, well pleasing to God and
men; do Thou Thyself, O Lover of men, enlighten me,
help me, and inflame me with Thy love, that I may be
submissive in everything to Thee and to my parents
who gave me birth, raised me, have taken care of me,
and nourished me.
Help me, O Lord, to always be obedient to them
and to honor them, as Thou didst command us saying:
"Honor thy Father and thy Mother, that it may be
well with thee and that thou mayest live many years
upon the earth." I pray Thee, O Lord, to keep my
parents safe, and grant them grace, mercy, health,
good temper, strength, love, holy zeal, and all that
is necessary and profitable, so that they may bring
us up well in Thy truth, with respect for holy
things and for the good of society.
O Lord Almighty, all things are possible to Thee:
help me and my parents, that they may do all that is
pleasing to Thee, for Thou art blessed to the ages
of ages. Amen.
