PRAYER FOR FAMILIES

 

In good times and in bad,

in sickness and in health,

we belong to each other

as we belong to you, God ever faithful.

By morning and by night

may your name be on our lips,

a blessing to all our days:

so may kindness and patience be ever among us,

a hunger for justice,

and songs of thankfulness in all we do.

May the Lord Jesus,

who lived with his holy family in Nazareth,

dwell also with our family,

and keep us from all evil,

and make all of us one in heart and mind. Amen
