Prayer for Families
Loving God,
During this Holy season of Christmas,
We ask for Your blessing on all families.
Let Mary’s openness to Your wondrous ways
Be an inspiration to place all trust in You.
Let Joseph’s courage provide hope
during times of anxiety and uncertainty.
Let Jesus’ life ignite all families
with a spirit of light and love.
May the grace that encircled the Holy Family
widen to embrace all families.
For this we pray.
Amen.
