Family Commitment Prayer
God, our Father, through the holy Sacrament of Marriage you have blessed us and
bestowed on us the gift of families in different shapes and sizes. You created the
family to be the image of the love and unity revealed to us in the Blessed Trinity.
We commit ourselves to model that love and unity in our daily lives and in all
our relationships.
Guide us on our journey as we read and reflect on your holy Word. By your
Word we are transformed so that, by our witness, we may become leaven for the
transformation of the world.
May the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us through our Baptism, shine through our
interactions within our family and through our encounters with others.
May all families within our parish become hearers and followers of the Word, so
that our parish family might mirror the love and unity of you, Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
