On this feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth, I offer this Family Prayer: May all families be protected from harm, misfortune and sadness. May they enjoy the privilege of spending precious quality time together, to share joy, celebrate happy occasions and to be there for each other when there is need for comfort. May good health prevail and there be ever-present faith in God’s grace and mercy. May they always be protected and blessed, those absent and those present, all the living, the sick and the dead. We pray for couples who are trying to conceive and have a child. For those who are struggling with too many mouths to feed and too little income to provide enough for each of them. And we pray especially for those who are struggling in their relationship, and may have separated temporarily, that they may find professional help to see them back together again. Let us remember that like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, but our roots remain as one. Keep everyone safe from the coronavirus and let us pray for those affected by it, and remember those lost by this pandemic. On the example of the Holy Family, may we strive for unity, patience with each other, tolerance and understanding.
