July 2011

Join us each week and pray for an hour before the Blessed Sacrament, for your children. They need you to bring them to the Lord in prayer.

Our special intention for the month of July is for the protection of children on holidays and we invite you to include this intention in your weekly holy hour.






Our children are on their holidays now from school and it is a great time to spend some precious moments with them in prayer, teaching and encouraging them to pray and thank God every day for  the many gifts they have received from Him.    Even the youngest child understands that prayer means “talking to God.”   As a child shares their concerns, parents can help them to create specific prayers for their needs, such as prayers for their friends, for the poor, for their grandparents etc.  Praying out loud in the family home is important - God spoke His Word out loud. There is power in prayer, especially within the family as our Lord said “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20).  Pray that our children have the courage to follow Jesus, that they have a teachable spirit, and wisdom to use the talents God gives them for His glory.



Prayer to our children’s Guardian Angel for protection
O Angels of God, from heaven so bright,
watching beside my children to lead them aright;
Fold your wings round them, and guard them with love;
Softly sing songs to them of heaven above.
Amen
