The Holy Family Novena: Day Six
The Holy Family is the “soul” solution for a wounded world. Abortion wounds women, men, and their children. Even more, it wounds families.
When men and women live in a holy family with God at its center, each member flourishes while the incidence of abortion drops.
Pulse Life Advocates asks you to pray this Novena over the next 9 days to ask God for blessings upon your family, as well as upon our Holy Family webinar, which begins Sunday, March 6th at 7PM.
The free webinar will run over four successive Sunday evenings at 7PM through March 27th. Each episode runs about 50 minutes. Advance registration is required here.
As we’ve written, the family is the “pay it forward” system. Women, men, and children ALL fare better within this structure when mom and dad are married. As Dr. Peter Kreeft writes in “Food for the Soul:”
“The family is the single most important institution on earth. All the happiest, most peaceful, and most enduring societies in history have had a deep respect for the family. It is the first place where we learn life’s most important lesson: unselfish love, the love that consists in the gift of your very self and life to others.”
Our Novena begins with a quote followed by prayer.
Thank-you for joining us in this Holy Family Novena.

“Husbands and wives should take up the burden appointed to them, willingly, in the strength of faith and of that hope which ‘does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.’ “ BLESSED POPE PAUL VI

~ DAY SIX PRAYER ~
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Holy Family, you were close to our Heavenly Father on Earth, uniting your wills to His, and are now close to Him in Heaven. I ask that you intercede with Him on my behalf.
(Mention your intentions here)
Holy Family, on your return journey from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Jesus stayed behind in the Temple, leaving His parents to worry about His whereabouts when they discovered He was missing. Pray for parents who struggle with distress, anxiety, and misplaced guilt over unexpected things that happen in their children’s lives.
Holy Family, you who once walked this Earth, accompany my family as we strive to follow your example by walking in your footsteps.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
