O Lord, my Saviour,

strengthen my resolve

that I may do the Father’s will.

Send Your Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus,

to melt and mould me

and to change me,

that I may become more like You,

and truly be part of Your family

…now

…and in heaven.

Amen.

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

The Christian family is the first place of education in prayer.

Based on the sacrament of marriage, the family is the "domestic church"

where God’s children learn to pray "as the Church"

and to persevere in prayer.

.

For young children in particular,

daily family prayer is the first witness of the Church’s living memory

as awakened patiently by the Holy Spirit.

.
