Prayer for the Family

On the top of Mount Tabor, Lord,
You were transfigured in the sight of
Peter, James and John who exclaimed
“It is good for us to be here.”
Even as Your glory shown through Your death
helped me find Your loving hand
even in the sorrows and hardships of life.
When my family loses sight of Your presence
and quarrels and misunderstandings cloud our minds
call us back to Mount Tabor, Lord,
and give us the strength and grace we need
to overcome every crisis
and to recognize each member of the family
as Your special blessing.
Gathered around the family table
let each one of us confess and believe,
“It is good for us to be here.”

Amen.

~ Father Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M.
