Prayer of a Christian Wife & Mother

I came across this prayer that was printed on prayer card from the Holy Trinity Fathers. I thought it was beautiful and wanted to share it!

Lord God, bless my family. Make it a beautiful image of the Trinity. Inspire my husband to imitate your compassion and mercy. Let him be a humble servant who seeks only your glory and the good of our loved ones. Let him be a good guide, protector, provider, and – most of all – a builder of holy lives. As head of our family Lord, give him a loving heart that he may never be domineering over those who you have placed under his care.

Inspire me, Lord, with a deep realization of my role as wife and mother. Give me as you gave Anna Maria Taigi, the fortitude to be an example of self-sacrifice and a means of reconciliation. Let me display the gentleness of Jesus and the love of the Holy Spirit. Give me the gift of wisdom so that I may have the special intuition to discern your will in difficult family situations. Let me be a pillar of strength to my husband and a source of understanding to my children.

Inspire, O Lord, my children to be thoughtful and loving toward me and their father and may they be disposed to learn from the experience and wisdom of their elders. Grant, dear Lord, that my family may stay together through self-sacrificing love, that every member be healthy and successful, that each be able to face any problem with courage and grow in your grace through prayer and trust in You.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, pray for me that I may be like you, a wife and mother according to the Heart of Jesus.
