Pray for Families (Unity. Love. Faith.)

Good Morning Prayer Warriors,

I am reading a book on different approved Marian apparitions, and the following struck me as I was reading. "Teach these words to all generations: UNITY. LOVE. FAITH." Mary was referring to Church unity. But since families are ground zero for teaching children about Christ (mini-churches if you will), I thought Mary's message should be shared.

We can work on growing in love and faith individually, but to grow in unity, we must put that love and faith into action with others. If we as a family, church, nation, world, ever hope to achieve peace, we must first attain unity. To do this, we must continue to pray.

“And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.
” Col 3:14-15

So let us get down on our knees and pray for families, that the Lord provide abundant grace so that true unity may be achieved through a growth in love and faith.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
