Dear Lord and Father,
our family needs You
to heal us from our sufferings
and reunite our hearts in love.
The harshness of words
can cause sorrow and pain.
The responsibilities of daily life
can cause anxiety and distress.
The crosses that each member of our family carries are heavy.
We need your presence to be our strength, our patience,
and courage and understanding.
Lord, when we have wronged one another, let us come forward
with humble hearts and when we have been wronged
let us forgive unconditionally.
Amen.
