O MERCIFUL God, who visitest the iniquities of parents on their children to the third and fourth generation, and showest mercy unto thousands of those who love thee and keep thy commandments; pour down thy blessings on my father and mother: reward, I beseech thee, O Lord, all their labors and tender solicitude for my welfare, by the remission of their sins, and deliver them from the punishments which may remain due to them. Endue them with such fortitude and resignation to thy divine will, as may enable them to bear patiently all the trials of this life: may thy heavenly grace make them fruitful in good works, and may they, like the holy patriarchs, enjoy the blessings of a long, happy, and peaceable life, and find in their children the consolation and support of their old age. May the precious inheritance of their virtues and welfare descend to their children; that through their wise counsels and good example, they and their offspring may be inseparably united in the enjoyment of eternal life, O Saviour of the world! who livest and reignest one God, world without end. Amen.
