Good Father, You wanted Your Son to be born into a family, a space of love and support where the Savior “grew and became strong.” Today, we bring before You all families torn by division and crisis, asking that You open spaces for them to communicate heart to heart, learning the difficult art of reconciliation.
May the Heart of Your Son Jesus reveal to them the good news hidden in the crisis, helping them to fine-tune the ear of their hearts and moving them to embrace forgiveness.
Breathe Your Spirit upon them so that with the support of grace and the accompaniment of family and friends, they can give a new “yes” that makes it possible for love to be reborn in them strengthened, transfigured, matured, and illuminated.
Amen.
