Prayers for a Holy Family

A blessed feast of the Holy Family to you all!! The Church is reflecting on the Holy family today. What made them holy was their love, obedience to God, and devotion to one another. Today let's pray for all of our families, past, present, and future, and ask God to make them holy. Prayer for departed loved ones from the lay Cistercian of South FL: God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command, we return to dust. Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone. In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen. Prayer for my family from @usccb: We bless your name, O Lord, for sending your own incarnate Son, to become part of a family, so that, as he lived its life, he would experience its worries and its joys. We ask you, Lord, to protect and watch over this family, so that in the strength of your grace its members may enjoy prosperity, possess the priceless gift of your peace, and, as the Church alive in the home, bear witness in this world to your glory. We ask this thought Christ our Lord. Amen. Prayer for my future spouse: O Jesus, I know you have created me to love all people. If I am called to the Vocation of marriage, I ask that you bless my future spouse-the person who you've created for me to love in an exclusive and special way. Allow s/he to know your love and mercy. Assist them in their trials. When we meet, let us know that our relationship is guided by and stands firm in your love. Show us your will, Lord. Help us to draw close to you and in the process to find one another. Saint Ann, Mamma Mary, Saint Joseph, and Saint Gianna, please pray for us! #saints #holyfamily #catholic #catholicteenlifeblog #futurespouse #family #prayforsouls
