MIDWEEK PRAYER

 Here is the prayer of the Knights of Columbus.  Note their dedication to the family.  Try it today.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
in you we contemplate
the splendor of true love, 
to you we turn with trust.

Holy Family in Nazareth,

grant that our families, too

may be places of communion and prayer, 

authentic schools of the Gospel

and small domestic churches.

Holy Family of Nazareth,

may families never again

experience violence, rejection, and division

may all who have been hurt or scandalized

find ready comfort and healing.

Holy Family of Nazareth,

make us once more mindful

of the sacredness and inviolability of the family,

and its beauty in God's plan.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

graciously hear our prayer.

Amen
