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 will become a holy family,

Accepting each other, working together in unity,

And selflessly dedicated to one another, and to You.

Amen
