Presider: The family of Nazareth inspires us to imitate the virtues of holiness and piety. With this ideal before us, we ask the Lord to hear our prayers on this family day.
- For the family of the Church, that we may give respect and dignity to all God’s children, we pray.
- For the family of people and nations, that they listen to the Prince of Peace so that they can resolve their differences on the negotiating table rather than with armaments, we pray.
- For all our families, that those separated from their family circle will find a home with God’s People, we pray.
- For broken families, that God’s reconciling forgiveness will be granted and accepted, to restore all relationships of love, we pray.
- For all married couples, that God guide them to a deep appreciation of the Sacrament of Matrimony, we pray.
- For those who are sick, especially those in the hospitals and at homes; that they experience the consolation of the Holy Family, we pray.
- For our deceased family members, relatives and friends, and all the departed, especially those who have died in 2017, that they may be gathered into the eternal joy of their heavenly home, we pray.
Presider: God our Father in heaven, by subjecting himself to Mary and Joseph, your Son sanctified home life at Nazareth. As we offer our prayers, help us to follow his example, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
