PRAYER FOR HEALING OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

 


PRAYER FOR HEALING OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

Heavenly Father,
We come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your grace and mercy for the healing of our family relationships. You are the God of peace and restoration, and we ask that You pour Your love into our hearts, softening any resentment, anger, or misunderstanding.

Help us to forgive one another as You have forgiven us, and give us the strength to overcome past hurts. Where there has been division, bring unity. Where there has been pain, bring comfort. Teach us to listen with compassion, to speak with kindness, and to act with love.

Fill our home with Your peace, that we may grow together in faith, hope, and love. Bless each member of our family, and guide us to build stronger bonds, rooted in Your Word and grace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

May peace and reconciliation flourish in your family.

Jesus, Teach Me To Forgive


Loving Jesus,

You who have shown us the way of forgiveness through your own example on the cross, I come before you with a humble and contrite heart, seeking your guidance and strength. Teach me, dear Lord, the true meaning of forgiveness.

You, who willingly embraced suffering and endured the weight of our sins, forgive me for the times I have held onto anger, resentment, and grudges. Help me to release these burdens and let go of the pain that binds my heart.

Grant me the wisdom to see others through your compassionate eyes, understanding that they too are flawed and in need of your mercy. Help me to recognize that forgiveness is not condoning or forgetting the wrongdoing but rather choosing to let go of the hurt and entrusting justice into your hands.

Lord, I acknowledge that forgiveness is not always easy, and at times it may seem impossible. But with your grace and strength, I know that all things are possible. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, so that I may find the courage to forgive those who have wronged me, just as you have forgiven me.

Teach me to be patient and understanding, to offer love and compassion even to those who have hurt me deeply. Help me to break the cycle of resentment and vengeance, and to replace it with the healing power of forgiveness.

May forgiveness be a transformative force in my life, restoring relationships, bringing inner peace, and fostering reconciliation. Through forgiving others, may I experience the freedom that comes from embracing your divine mercy.

Lord Jesus, as I strive to forgive, grant me the grace to seek reconciliation where possible and to work towards healing the wounds that have caused division. Give me the strength to extend forgiveness not just once, but as often as necessary, following your example of unlimited love and mercy.

I surrender my hurts, my pain, and my desire for revenge into your loving hands. Help me to live out the prayer you taught us, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

In your holy and compassionate name, I pray.

Amen

When you find it difficult to be humble, say this prayer to the Blessed Mother





PRAYER TO THE BLESSED MOTHER FOR HUMILITY
(St. John Neumann )

O Mary, Mother of Mercy,
pray to thy Divine Son for me, a poor sinner;
beg Him to make me humble.
Oh, how humble art thou, the purest of Virgins;
thou, my powerful mediatrix;
thou, O most holy among the children of Adam,
who art the exalted Mother of God!
Thou didst declare thyself the handmaid of Him
Whose Mother thou art.
Behold, my dear heavenly Mother,
how gladly I would dedicate myself to thy Divine Son,
that His Will may also be mine.
But my pride, my self-esteem, my vanity,
are always against me.
I struggle against them,
and yet I allow them to surprise and deceive me so often.
Oh, how this afflicts me!
Mary, Refuge of Sinners,
if I were only sincere when I beg of thee
to obtain humiliation for me.
But alas, whilst praying for such helps to humility,
I fear the granting of my prayer.
I clearly see better things;
I even desire their possession
and yet I shrink from what alone can give me true humility.
Behold my trials, my combats in this valley of tears!
O my dearest Mother,
if to be freed from this body would give glory to God,
how gladly would I not lay down my life.
