Prayer for Families



Prayer of Blessed Therese of Kolkata for Families
Our Father, who art in heaven, you have given us a model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, most loving Father, to make a new Nazareth of our own families, where joy and peace will reign.

May it be deeply contemplative, fervently Eucharistic and joyfully vibrant.

Help us to stay together through good and ill thanks to our praying as a family.
Teach us to encounter Jesus in every member of our own families especially those who suffer and are wounded.

May the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus make our hearts as meek and humble as his (Mt 11,29).

Help us to fulfill our vocation as a family in holiness.
May we love one another as God loves each one of us more and more every day and forgive each other's faults as you forgive our sins.

Most loving Father, help us to accept all you give to us and give all you take from us with a big smile. Immaculate Heart of Mary, cause of our joy, pray for us!

Holy Guardian Angels be always with us, guiding us and protecting us. Amen.

Feeling blessed today to celebrate the Holy Eucharist, on the first Sunday of May 2015! The Parable of the Vine and Branches taught by Jesus makes me feel one with him, experiencing his life and love and producing abundant fruits of joy, courage and zeal for the good news of God's Kingdom.
