Weekly Prayer
Sometimes being a parent is a peaceful journey and other times it is more eventful and exciting. Many find this prayer helpful on their parenting journey. You might recognize the Serenity Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
St. Joseph, our Patron, Pray For Us. Amen.
