A FATHER'S PRAYER

                    DEAR FATHER IN HEAVEN,

                          MAY WE REMEMBER
                          THAT CHILDREN NEED:

                           TIME AND ATTENTION,
                            LOVE AND PATIENCE,
                         DISCIPLINE AND GUIDANCE,
                          CARING AND AFFECTION,
                          TRUSTING AND SECURITY,
                           LAUGHTER AND PLAY.

                          LIKE JOSEPH, FATHER OF JESUS,
                          MAY WE ALSO BE A GOOD ROLE
                          MODEL AND SET THE BEST EXAMPLE
                          FOR OUR CHILDREN.

                                               AMEN
