Patron Saints of
"Parents Who Pray"
These are some of the Saints who are praying
for members of this e-group and our children.
 The Holy Family
Heavenly Father, You have given us a model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace, and joy reign.
May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, and vibrant with joy. Help us to stay together in joy and sorrow through family prayer.
Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our family, especially in their
distressing disguise.
May the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus make our hearts meek and humble like
His and help us to carry out our family duties in a holy way. May we love one another as God loves each one of us more and more each
day, and forgive each others' faults as You forgive our sins. ~ Mother Teresa

 St. Francis of Assisi
"To our family St. Francis is special. We are the stewards of God's creations and that applies to animals and children. We have a lot of pets. My son has read about him and has a statue. On our Grace's 2nd birthday, God brought us a little abandoned kitten, and our oldest came by to visit."
~ Stacy

 St. Raphael
"St. Raphael is the Archangel of Healing. My husband's name is Ralph, a derivation of 'Raphael'. We need the big guns in the battle we've been waging for our children, so I ask for the help of the archangels. I'm counting on St. Raphael and his gift of healing to help restore our family and heal the hearts of our children."

St. Monica
The tears of St. Monica and the golden words of St. Ambrose led to the conversion of her son, St. Augustine of Hippo. Our tears are like precious diamonds for Jesus. Each tear is itself a prayer. When you're tired of using words, just cry. |
