We often forget that one of the most powerful weapons we have for healing is prayer. Say this prayer, and then later today, invite your own family to pray this with you.
A Prayer for Families
O dear Jesus,
I humbly implore You to grant Your special graces to our family.
May our home be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith.
I beg You, dear Jesus, to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living
and dead.
O Mary,
loving Mother of Jesus,
and our Mother,
pray to Jesus for our family,
for all the families of the world,
to guard the cradle of the newborn,
the schools of the young and their vocations.
Blessed Saint Joseph,
holy guardian of Jesus and Mary,
assist us by your prayers
in all the necessities of life.
Ask of Jesus that special grace
which He granted to you,
to watch over our home
at the pillow of the sick and the dying,
so that with Mary and with you,
heaven may find our family unbroken
in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Amen.
As you come together with family and friends over the next week, prepare yourself in prayer so that you may be Christ’s light to all.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Eph 4:3
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
