- Thought for the week: As part of our Jubilee Year journey, we are asked to pray for different intentions each month. During the month of March, we are asked to pray for families in crisis. Pope Francis has asked us to pray that broken families might discover the cure for their wounds through forgiveness, rediscovering each other’s gifts, even in their differences.
Loving God, you call us to be sisters and brothers of Jesus, family who hear his word and live it out in our lives. Open our eyes to see your image and likeness in each person, and to forgive one another as you forgive us. Amen.
