Father of all families, you have called me to serve the family in truth and love as a catechists. may I be faithful to this call, rooted in your Word, and open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

May I use these gifts, especially the gifts of faith, hope, and love, to serve the family as a witness to you, who are love and life and the source and destiny of all families.

Let your spirit enlighten my mind and strengthen my heart so that I can be a path of Christ's love to families especially those in need, the homebound and aged, the disabled and disheartened.

Through the Intercession of Mary and Joseph, I pray for the Church, the Bride of Christ, whose mission to build a civilization of love passes through the family.

Amen.
