`*+*`HOW TO KEEP A FAMILY TOGETHER`*+*`
A FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER
Family is an important part of one's life,
and is also very important to God.
From Adam and Eve onward,
God made humans to be together with love
to guide and support one another.
Through prayer we can make
our families stronger.
...A Prayer for Family...
Heavenly Father,
Please shine your light upon my family.
Give us strength to overcome all
of the difficulties that we are dealing
with now and protect us against any
and all problems we may encounter
in the future.
O Lord, please bring us together
as we are meant to be.
May the love that binds us only
grow stronger as we fulfill
the destiny you have laid
out for us.
Grant my family forgiveness
for any sins we have committed.
May we also forgive one another Lord,
as it is sometimes difficult to do.
Bless us Lord,
In your name I pray, Amen

Morning Prayer
O my God!
I offer Thee all my actions of this day
for the intentions and for the glory
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart,
my every thought,
my simplest works,
by uniting them to Its infinite merits;
and I wish to make reparation for my sins
by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.
O My God!
I ask of Thee for myself
and for those whom I hold dear,
the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will,
to accept for love of Thee
the joys and sorrows of this passing life,
so that we may one day
be united together in heaven for all Eternity.
Amen.

What Do these Scriptures teach us about Family?
--------------------------------------
In these Bible verses about the family, we find
that both the family and having children
are a blessing from God.
Colossians 3:18-21 is one of my favorite passages
because it describes the proper roles of the man,
the woman, and the children in the family relationship
that we also find reinforced in other scriptures on family.
The man is supposed to love his wife and children with
gentleness and kindness, the woman is to submit
to the authoritative role of her husband,
and the children are to obey their parents.
And Job prayed for his children on a regular basis.
When there is a family unit, they are often effected
by the actions of the other family members.
