Feast of the Holy Family
Priest
On this feast of the Holy Family we bring our requests to God our loving father.
Reader:
For the church. May its teaching and action always reflect the example of the Holy Family Lord hear us
For parents; that in a spirit of generosity and love, they may be strengthened in their vocation, Lord hear us
For friends, family, and the strangers in our midst, may we reach out to them and remember them, not only at Christmas but throughout the year. Lord hear us
For refugees in all parts of the world who, like the Holy Family, cannot return home for fear of death or repression. May they be received with kindness in foreign lands and supported in their endeavours to build a new life. Lord hear us.
For those who have died and whose anniversaries occur at this time, May they be blessed with God’s welcome into his presence. Lord hear us.
Let us ask Mary, loving wife and mother to pray for us as we say. Hail Mary …
In silence we thank God for our blessings and ask him to hear our personal prayers.
Priest:
Father we ask you to hear and answer all our prayers which we bring to you in faith and love through our Lord Jesus your Son. Amen
