A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians:
Brothers and sisters: From the day we heard about you, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:9-14

hugs n’ blessings for the inheritance we shall share.

“God wants the humble souls, who love Him and, therefore, pray to Him, to govern the world through the goodness and power of God.
He wants them to save and sanctify souls and to bring about the kingdom of divine love in them.” KW 1302

St. Maximilian Kolbe

Heavenly Father I come before you with a heart full of gratitude for the precious gift of family and I place them all in Your hands. Fill them with Your grace and mercy. Bless them with your holy presence. May they walk in obedience to your Word. Keep them safe. Surround them with your chosen people. Remove everything that is causing stress and worry and I pray for fresh anointing, healing, and deliverance on their life. I ask that You surround our home with Your divine protection, love and peace.

Thank you for blessing me with loved ones who share in life’s joys and burdens. May your presence be felt in every conversation, every moment, and every decision that we make together. Guide us in strengthening our bonds, Lord. Help us to be patient, kind and understanding, especially during times of challenge. Grant us the wisdom to nurture each other with grace and compassion. Fill our hearts with forgiveness, and let love reign in our home. We pray for your abundant blessings over our family, for health, happiness and peace. Help us to grow closer to You and to each other in everything we do. May our home be a place where Your love is reflected, and your light shines brightly in our lives.

All glory and honor is Yours! Amen.

The secret of joy is Christ in me – not me in a different set of circumstances.

If you see a married couple still in love through the years, you may think how lucky they are. But in marital relations, there’s no such thing as luck.

They made many compromises, they overlooked each others’ faults. They forgave many mistakes & endured many problems. They spent years learning to understand one another.
