For Peace in The Family

Our family is the circle of friends and loved ones that surround our lives… those with whom we share, suffer, relate, and celebrate. One of the beautiful things about being a part of God’s Church is that we are also a part of a greater, universal family…

There are times when our family life may become stressed – we can ask God’s blessing upon us and upon those with whom we share our lives…

Lord Jesus,

My family needs Your help today. We need Your peace and tranquility, an end to discord. Give us strength and compassion to understand each other, wisdom and love to help each other, and the trust and patience we need to live peacefully together. Grant that, through the intercession of Your mother, Mary, and St. Joseph, our family too may become a holy family, a family that works together as one, a family that embraces peace and love, a family whose members are dedicated to each other and to You.

Amen
