14th Sunday Ordinary Time Year C

A GRANDPARENTS BLESSING AND PRAYER.

Lord, today we bring to you in prayer our grandparents.
They may be here with us now, or may already have died and are now at peace.
As parents, they gave life and nurtured the life of our own parents.
We thank you for them and for that gift.
We thank you too for the memories they created and that they have shared with us.
They were born into a world different from ours
As times have changed they may have struggled to keep up and sometimes lost touch.
Forgive us for the times we have been impatient with them
Help us to be generous with our love and care for them in their old age.
Bless with eternal rest those grandparents who have died.
Bless those of us who are grandparents
And bless all grandparents with peace and contentment and
an acceptance that their lives were well spent in your service.
We ask St Joachim and St Anne, the grandparents of Jesus,
to intercede for us as we offer this prayer in Jesus' name. 
Amen.
