# A prayer for all our fathers
*2014-06-15*

> In this episode, Bill Young offers a special prayer for fathers, remembering both those who have passed away and those still with us.

## Honoring our fathers

Welcome to the 374th episode of the Prayer N Lunch podcast. Following Father's Day, we take a moment to remember all our fathers. For those who are no longer with us, we pray for their souls. For those who are still with us, we pray for their wisdom and knowledge.

## My God and my Father

I would like to share a prayer titled 'My God and My Father.'

My God and my Father, may my sorrowful loneliness glorify you. May my penance and obedience soothe you. Do not vent your righteous anger on all souls. Look at your Son; forgive all souls in the name of His suffering. Sustain them. Do not let them succumb under the burden of their weakness. Be at their side in the hours of imprisonment and give them strength to bear their sufferings and trials of life, in accordance with your holy, adorable will.

*We entrust our fathers and all souls to the mercy and strength of God the Father through the suffering of His Son.*
