Family Prayer

Heavenly Father, you have given us a model of life in the holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace and joy reign. May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, and vibrant with joy. Help us to stay together in joy and sorrow through family prayer. Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our family especially in their distressing disguise. May this Eucharistic heart of Jesus make our hearts meek and humble like His and help us to carry out our family duties in a holy way. May we love one another as God loves each one of us. more and more each day. and forgive each other’s faults as you forgive our sins. Help us. O loving Father, to take whatever you give and to give whatever you take with a happy heart and a smile.
