A Family Prayer


Our Father,we thank you for your love and for the many good things you have given to our family. Help us to show our gratitude by loving each other as you love us. Give us patience and understanding to bear with one another---generosity to share our joys and sorrows---honestly to admit our faults and correct them. We entrust our family to your Fatherly care and protection. We ask that we may grow daily in wisdom and grace, that some of us be granted the privilege of following your Divine Son in the priesthood of religious life, and that all of us may one day share with you the joys of Heaven. Amen.
Now more than ever there needs to be daily prayer for families.
Remember the time when mothers would pray that a son might be called to the ministry?
