Dear Mother Mary, I come before you today, humbly offering my worries, my fears, and my anxieties—especially those concerning my family. I lift up to you my brothers and their partners. For a long time, I have been praying and hoping for healing—for the divisions, the hurt, and the pain caused by our differences in views and values. With a sincere and yearning heart, I now beg for your intercession. Please grant us the grace of healing and reconciliation. Our family has endured much separation and struggle, and I ask for your urgent mercy. Fill our hearts with the peace and unity we so deeply need. Enlighten our minds, soften our hearts, and guide us toward understanding and forgiveness.Protect us, dear Mother, from anything that seeks to harm or divide us, and shield our family from all that threatens the peace of our souls. Draw us closer to one another and lead us back to love. Amen. Iris
