Family Prayer

We have been handed these prayer cards in Church these last weeks and I really like the thoughts to meditate on in regards to REAL family prayer.

Families Become what you are.....

God our Father, You are Love and Life.
Be with us as we pray for all families.

Guide and protect all families that, together,
we may be a true shrine of your life and love

Direct our thoughts and actions
so that we may be both a sign and
active presence of your love to all families.

Bless and strengthen our families
so that our children and youth may
experience the gift of dignity and so
grow strong in love and truth.

Let our home be  a place of welcome,
forgiveness, love and acceptance.

We humbly ask that you strengthen
our Sacrament of Marriage and our
bonds of family. Grant us the grace,
courage and strength to face our
trials  and weaknesses, and a sense
of awe and thankfulness during our times of joy.

We offer our prayers with and
through the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Help us to be the greatest
and most visible sign of evangelism in
our Church.

We ask this of You, who are Life,
Truth and Love with the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen

Blessings to you and your homes,
