Presentation transcript:

A Letter From Bishop Michael Kennedy Grandparents are of unique importance in family life generally and particularly in the transmission of faith through the generations. They provide children with a stability and sense of identity and continuity. We are delighted to offer you this resource to assist you in supporting the grandparent figures in your wider school community. It comes with the desire of the Bishops of Australia to see every family flourish as an effective community of Christ’s love. With every blessing, Bishop Michael Kennedy Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life

Sts. Joachim and Anne Joachim and Anne were greatly honoured by God who gave them a daughter conceived without sin who was to become known as the Mother of God! It would seem that they performed their parenting responsibilities with great grace. Their feast day on July 26 is a day to honour them and all grandparents for their contribution to our lives.

News Flash: Pope Blesses Grandparents Vatican City, Jul 26, 2009 Following the Angelus, Pope Benedict spoke about today’s feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandparents of Jesus. The Pope then asked the faithful to pray for grandparents, “who in families are often the witnesses of the fundamental values of life.” I entrust to the protection of St. Anne and St. Joachim all grandparents of the world, imparting a special blessing.”

A Prayer for Grandparents Dear God, please bless our grandparents. Thank you for the life they gave my parents and for the life they give to me. For the ways they helped me and made me strong, I give thanks. For the ways they love me no matter what, I rejoice. For the ways they have paved the road that leads me here, I am grateful.

A Prayer for Grandparents cont. Let them grow in wisdom and joy in life. Let them find peace and rest from their work. Let them be healed of every sickness and pain. And let them see with their own eyes the glory of your Son, Jesus, in the love of their children and grandchildren. Bless them always until they come to rest in you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Diana Macalintal Copyright © 2005
