Dear Parents and Carers,

Last Sunday saw us celebrating and acknowledging the Father’s and Father figures in our lives. I sincerely hope that your day was surrounded by love, kindness and compassion. Fathers and Father figures play such an important role in our lives, they teach us how to love, how to care and how to be the best that we can be. Here is a Father’s day prayer that I share with all the important people in our lives that play this role for us.

God our Father,

We give thanks and praise for fathers young and old.

We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation;

May they find courage and perseverance to balance work,

family and faith in joy and sacrifice.

We pray for fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering;

May they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow.

We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor

and guide us with fatherly love and advice.

We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers

who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory

and nourish us with their love.

Amen
