Blessed are the children of parents who:
 
Witness love for their spouse, their children, their neighbor, and the world.
Lead their family in prayer.
Talk freely about the presence of God in the joys and sorrows of their lives.
Remind their children that they are loved by God and have been given gifts to serve others.
Are welcoming and supportive to priests, brothers, sisters, deacons and lay ministers in the Church.
Participate in the lay ministries, and activities of their parish and community.
Encourage their children to consider the priesthood or consecrated life.
Encourage their children to pray daily, to listen to God’s call and if heard, to respond.
