St. Euphrasia's Church in Granada Hills has included in their bulletin an all-encompassing prayer for fathers; we repeat it here.
God and Father of all creation, we come before you today with humble hearts.
You are our model of a loving father.
When we fail and fall short of your expectations, you are always there at the end of the day with open arms, ready to heal the cuts and scrapes of the day and to encourage us to try again and not to give up.
We hold up these men in our midst who act in the world as fathers to their children or models of fathers for others.
Bless them in their moments of doubt and frustration with their children.
Give them warm and open
hearts to forgive failures.
Provide them with the words needed for encouragement and perseverance.
We ask this all in the name of Jesus. Amen.
At St. Euphrasia, under Fr. Alden’s gentle lead, we’re a warm home for faith, inclusivity and service. Each soul here is valued, each bond meaningful. Join us!
