Heavenly Father, you entrusted your Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Joseph, his foster father, thank you for the gift of fatherhood. We pray for all fathers, grandfathers and those hoping to become fathers. Bless them all as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience, ability to love in a way that reflects your love. Support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation. Help us to love them in a way that would bring honor to You and them. Bless and heal all those wounded by the imperfections of their fathers and grant an eternal rest to our fathers you have called from this life to yourself, through Jesus Christ Lord. Amen
