Almighty God, Our Heavenly Father, Who placed the solitary in families: We ask Your continual care for the homes in which Your people dwell. We ask You to remove every root of bitterness and fill our homes and families with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness. Teach us all how to love each other. Teach husbands to love their wives and teach wives to make all theirs works worthy of being praised. Turn the hearts of the parents to the children, and the hearts of the children to the parents; that our homes and families may reflect the grace and unity of love you would have us show each other and the world. This we ask in the Name of Jesus.

Amen.
