Father's Day Blessings

As we celebrate Father's Day, I include the Blessing prayer from The CCCB Publication "Blessings and Prayers for home and family".
We keep all the Fathers of our parish in our prayers at this time. We remember those who are near, and those who are far away.  Those who are healthy and those who are ill, or failing health.


God our Father,
we praise you and bless you
for the life you have given us
through your saving love,
revealed in Jesus your Son.
Through Christ you have revealed yourself
as a loving father who provides for us all.


Look with love upon our father
and bless him with your love.
Deepen his love for his wife and family
and make us one in love 
with all your holy people 
as we proclaim your mighty deeds 
and sing your praises.
We offer praise and glory,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Amen.


Peace
