LORD, CHOOSE TODAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE,
THE GODS YOUR ANCESTORS SERVED BEYOND

WHOSE COUNTRY YOU ARE DWELLING. AS FOR ME
AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.”

“I thank God that many families, which are far
from considering themselves perfect, live in love,
fulfil their calling and keep moving forward, even if
they fall many times along the way.
The Synod’s reflections show us that
there is no stereotype of the ideal
family, but rather a challenging mosaic
made up of many different realities,
with all their joys, hopes and
problems.”

‘Nazareth teaches us the
meaning of family life, its loving
communion, its simple and
austere beauty, its sacred and
inviolable character. May it
teach how sweet and
irreplaceable is its training, how
fundamental and incomparable
its role in the social order”
- Amoris Laetitita, 66
PRAYER
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the
splendor of true love; to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of 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 and
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.
