How We Gather
LOVE.
Respect others. Don’t interrupt. Listen with real interest and care. Encourage.
ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t allow conflicting media or phones. Light a candle when you gather.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN.
Move at your family’s pace. Invite every voice, adapt for age and attention, and know anyone may pass.
PRAY WHEN IT’S REAL.
When a burden emerges, ask: “Can we pray for that right now?” A parent or guardian may close with the blessing.
Welcome
Make room for every voice in family life.
Settle in. Begin with gratitude for simply being together.
Relationships
Begin with the life you share.

Prayer & The Word
Turn together toward Christ.
Opening Prayer
Pray this together, or invite someone to lead a spontaneous prayer.
Lord God, we thank You for being the center of this missioned group of believers. Help us to know that You are truly present with us, here and now, listening to us, desiring us to more fully discover and live You.
Teach us of humility, honesty, encouragement, discipline, and commitment.
We recommit ourselves to becoming the church You call us to be.
May Your love overflow into our marriages, families, friendships, work and world, that Your Kingdom be done here on earth as it is in heaven.
Glory be to the Father... Amen.
The Word among us

I invite you to the wedding feast of My Son; do not let the demands of your day persuade you that My invitation can wait.

Before we are sent
Commitments
Each person may name one manageable way to grow this week—patience, helping, prayer, encouragement, or another invitation God is placing before your family.
Sending
Go in peace. Carry one another.
Intentions
If possible, stand and form a circle. Bring before the Lord the people and situations on your heart. After each intention, we respond together:
Lord, hear our prayer.
Parent blessing
LORD JESUS CHRIST, let Your holy anointing be upon each of our children, grandchildren, and godchildren this day and week, including all to whom they are called in vocation, and all future generations! In Your Sacred Name we claim them for You! We renounce all whispers, lies, and influences of the Enemy! We pray right now that each know Your loving Presence, be forged in virtue, and be flooded with an abundance of Your Holy Spirit to live fully their identity and mission in You now and through all eternity, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother! Amen.
