A Prayer for Deceased Parents

O God, Who hast commanded us to honor our father and our mother; in Thy mercy have pity on the souls of my father and my mother (or, the soul of my father, or, the soul of my mother), and forgive them their trespasses (or, forgive him his trespasses, or, forgive her her trespasses); and make me to see them (or, him, or, her) again in the joy of everlasting brightness. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen (The Roman Missal).

An indulgence of 3 years.
A plenary indulgence under the usual conditions, if the devout recitation of this prayer be continued every day for a month (S. P. Ap., Sept. 12, 1935).

What's one thing you're thankful for?

Like father, like son.💙❤

"It takes three to get married, Man, Wife, and Christ bringing them together in Faith. Let the Lord be the center of your marriage, and you will be together onto Eternal life.

Here's a beautiful shot of the Gospel being proclaimed from the Ambo at a Nupital Mass for the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony. God's blessings upon the couple and all newlyweds."

My son’s first gap!

A happy childhood is not so much the product of material comfort but of a home in which the father shows his wife love and affection and she gives him dutiful obedience and reverence. The boundaries are firm and the discipline rigid but love is also abundant. That suffices for a happy childhood in a suburban house, a rural country home, or even in catacombs as such times do come when the good are forced into such arrangements.

The idea that it is undesirable to bring up children in times like these is wrongheaded. Instead think of your children as soldiers needed to fight against the evil times and the more evil the times, the more children good men and women should have to aid in the conflict.
