7 Scripture Passages on the Christian Family
This week, Deacon Larry’s homily asks you to read the Bible considering the following:
⚫ Take five minutes each day for one week to contemplate the reading for that day. Read it and pray the following prayer.
“Dear Lord Jesus, speak to my heart through this reading. What do you want me to know about the family relationships in my life?”
⚫ Spend the rest of the time listening to what the Lord may be saying to you.
⚫ Write down notes for each day to see if there is a common theme. If nothing comes to your heart or mind, say a prayer of thanksgiving that all is well in your family relationships.
