In light of the recent court ruling, ordering a young mother to abort her unborn baby; thanks be to God it has now been overturned by the Court of Appeal. This ruling is a direct attack on the fundamental structure of our family unit as it stands and very, very, alarming to say the least.
Let us be PROactive - 'Prayer for the Family' by St. Josemaria Escriva, who proclaimed that everyone is called to a daily encounter with Christ and to a life of holiness. Let's pray for a holy and unshakable family foundation in our 'society' of today and the courage for us to keep speaking out against such attacks.
Prayer:O God our loving Father,Creator of all things, you sent your Son, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, into the home of Mary and Joseph forming the Holy Family of Nazareth; inspire us by their example to imitate their selfless charity in our family life.
Through the intercession of St. Josemaria, help our families to be united in the heart of Christ, enjoying a loving communion with each other, recognizing and upholding the sacredness of marriage, generously welcoming the gift of life, and valuing the inestimable gift of each family member.
Help us dedicate ourselves in generous service to our families and to reflect the love that Christ had for Mary and Joseph, making our family a true domestic Church with Christ at its center.
Teach us to find Christ in the crosses that occur in family life and help us to find joy in them and unite them to him.
Watch over and protect our family so that each member will be faithful to the Gospel and never stray from the path of holiness. We ask you, through the intercession of St. Josemaria, to grant us the favor of (make your request). Amen.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we give our hearts and souls to you.
