Gracious and Loving God, we thank you for making us members of your household through Jesus Christ our Lord. Strengthen us by your spirit to cherish the gift of family, both in our homes and in the community of faith. Grant that we may honour one another with love, bear one another's burdens with grace, and follow the example of Christ, who calls us His brothers and sisters. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
