We pray for all families, Lord 
- for all kinds of families -
on this feast of the Holy Family...

We pray for families of origin, 
for nuclear families,
for extended families,
for small families,
for big families, 
for the church family, 
for troubled families,
for happy families,
for grieving families,
for broken families,
for struggling families,
for poor families,
for homeless families,
for families with two parents,
for families with one parent,
for families with gay or lesbian parents,
for divorced families,
for separated families,
for refugee families,
for adoptive families,
for foster families,
for inter-faith families,
for growing families,
for immigrant families,
for parish families,
for inter-racial families,
for close families,
for distant families,
for families next door,
for his family,
for her family;
and we pray, Lord,
for the human family...

Hold us, help us and heal us, Lord,
until we're all one family,
brothers and sisters all,
children of one Father,
one in spirit, one in faith,
one in hope and one in love...

Amen.
