Every year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. The prayer intention for August is, Families, Schools of Human Growth — that families, through their life of prayer and love, become ever more clearly "schools of true human growth".
Prayer for Peace in Our Family
Lord Jesus, be with my family.
Grant us Your peace and harmony, an end to conflict and division.
Gift us with the compassion to better understand each other,
the wisdom and love to assist each other,
and the trust and patience to live peacefully together.
Grant that, through the intercession of Your mother, Mary, and
St. Joseph,
our family too may become a holy family,
accepting each other,
working together in unity,
and selflessly dedicated to one another and to You.
Amen.
