Family prayer

Thengumkudiyil Family Prayer

Oh! Almighty and merciful God, we praise you for allowing us to be united in your name. Give us the right spirit of the heart, so that we who belong to the same family may can love, forgive and tolerate each other. Let your presence be always in our families. Guide our children and the youth, so that they may walk in your ways, help them to think what is right, lead them to do good deeds, inspire them to speak good words and shower the gifts of your Holy Spirit on them. Let your Guidance be there in all our actions, words and deeds. May the intercession of our Blessed Mother, St Joseph, St Francis Xavier, St Alphonsa and all other saints be with us all, always and forever.  Amen.
