| Let us pray [as the family of God who share in his life] Father in heaven, creator of all, you ordered the earth to bring forth life, and crowned its goodness by creating the family of man.In history’s moment when all was ready You sent your Son to dwell in time, obedient to the laws of life in our world. Teach us the sanctity of human love, show us the value of family life, and help us to live in peace with all men that we may share in your life forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord. |

| Good parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Grandparents of our Savior, Jesus Christ,When life seems barren, help us to trust in God’s mercy. When we are confused, help us to find the way to God. When we are lost in the desert, lead us to those whom God has called us to love. When our marriage seems lifeless, show us the eternal youth of the Lord. When we are selfish, teach us to cling only to that which lasts. When we are afraid, help us to trust in God. When we are ashamed, remind us that we are God’s children. When we sin, lead us to do God’s will. You who know God’s will for husband and wife, Pray with us for the ministry of Catholic family life. Hail Mary. . . Our Father. . . Glory to the Father. . . |
