A SHORT PRAYER TO RESTORE BROKEN FAMILIES

LORD JESUS CHRIST, Your first coming into this world signaled the reconciliation of heaven and earth. You bridged the long-standing gap between the Father and His people by dying on the cross and paying for the penalty of our many and grave sins. 

LORD JESUS, You are the ultimate Bridge-builder. Grant that all broken families may find healing and reconciliation through the power of Your saving grace. Just like Your family in Nazareth, help our family to be holy and whole again.  

If there are any unresolved hurts and bitterness left in our hearts, we invoke Your most Holy Spirit to remove those negative emotions and allow Your Peace to reign over us. Restore our family, Lord Jesus, and make it a cradle of Joy and Love starting today and for the rest of our lives.  AMEN.

STAY WITH ME, LORD (A Prayer by Padre Pio of Pietrelcina)

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have
You present so that I do not forget You.
You know how easily I abandon You.

Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.

Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.

Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.
