In times of crisis, pray

We can make our home like the Father’s house if we make prayer the center in our home and family life. This week, formulate a plan to set aside some time nightly for prayer together, offering thanks and praises to God, asking for the strength to overcome whichever crisis comes your way and affects your family. Then put this praying plan into action, and discover the peace and grace that follows from uniting as a family unit in God.   Readings at this Mass: Sir 3:2–6, 12–14 | Col 3:12–21 | Lk 2:41–52
