Lord Jesus - You are the glory of Israel - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - You are the awaited Messiah - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - You are the Son of Mary - Lord have mercy.
PRIEST: As we celebrate the Holy Family in a special way today, let us bring our prayers to God, who showers blessings upon all his sons and daughters.
1. For the members of the Christian family, that they may have joy and peace throughout the Christmas season.
2. For the families of our community, that members of our families may treat each other with tolerance and respect and work towards unity and reconciliation.
3. For families where there is hurt and difficulty, that those who have suffered may find healing.
4. For families that live with illness and frailty, that those called to be care givers may be filled with gentleness and patience.
5. For families who are homeless, that political leaders work toward providing affordable housing.
6. For the members of our families who have died, and for all those we knew who died during 2022. As we lift them up in our prayers, we pray that the light of heaven may be theirs.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
PRIEST: O God, your care for your family is constant: hear the prayers we make in faith and trust through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
