The Mystery of Parenthood is a show on RED-C Catholic Radio, headquartered in College Station, Texas. On July 5, 2017, host Trey Cashion used the show to offer some extended reflections about Pope St. John Paul II's Prayer for Families. This is the prayer that Trey and Stephanie pray at the top of each episode. (A copy of the prayer can be found below.) Consider incorporating it into your family's prayer life and use this episode to glean some insights into the heroic life that Pope John Paul II calls mothers, fathers, and children to in this prayer. Remember to pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you!
Lord God, from You every family in Heaven and on earth takes its name. Father, You are love and life.
Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, the fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of life and love.
Grant that Your grace may guide the thoughts and actions of husbands and wives for the good of their families and of all the families in the world.
Grant that the young may find in the family solid support for their human dignity and for their growth in truth and love.
Grant that love, strengthened by the grace of the sacrament of marriage, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass.
Through the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that the Church may fruitfully carry out her worldwide mission in the family and through the family.
We ask this of You, Who is life, truth and love with the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
