A Passionist Novena for Fathers – Day 8

Loving God,
I recognize the dedication and patience it takes to be a source of compassion and understanding when helping to shape a young life. Bless new fathers and those preparing for fatherhood.  Give them courage, wisdom and gentle hearts. May they feel your presence and know that your strength and wisdom are within them, providing all they need to guide and support their children with kindness and love. 

Amen.
