Prayer of Pope Francis for Grandparents

Dear Grandmother, Dear grandfather,

May our Lord, Jesus Christ be always close to you.

We thank you for all you have contributed to life and

for the gifts you continue to give to your families

And to our community.

We pray that your closeness to God will bring you

The health and the strength you need to continue

Your journey on the road of life.

May you continue to enjoy your life, your work,

And your prayers.

May your memories always be happy and may you

Achieve your dreams for the future.

One day we will all be united in God’s Kingdom,

Through Christ Our Lord, Amen
