Novena for Broken Families
Contents
Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Broken Families!
Family life is a great gift from God to our world and to each of us. God always intended for families to have as a foundation a strong marriage between a man and a woman. Families containing a mother, father, and children are often full of love and can be instrumental in striving for holiness.
But because of sin and the state of our fallen world, many families are broken. In our modern society, broken families are becoming more and more prevalent as spouses divorce and children become abandoned.
Members of broken families suffer a great deal from lack of financial and emotional stability, and from many other ailments resulting from parental absence. Broken families are in great need of our prayers.
Let’s offer prayers in the Novena for Broken Families, that all members of broken families may obtain the grace and assistance they need to find happiness and achieve holiness.
