How to receive Blessings in a Family

Entrust all your problems to Jesus. He will save your family. Offer all the problems to Jesus and ask him to interact in your life.

Differences between husband and wife, the lack of love, being without children, waywardness of children, bad habits of children, members of family and spouse, alcoholism, debts, joblessness, homelessness, envy and enmity of the neighbors, hindrances to marriage, lack of prayer, divorce, lack of mutual respect, squandering, serious diseases, obstacles in all matters and so on - must be surrendered to Jesus. Invite Jesus into your life and family problems. The one who solved the problems of many a thousand will surely solve yours too.

Remedies

  • Accept your life partner as a God-given gift. (Tobit6: 17).

  • Take decision only through mutual consultation and sharing.

  • Appreciate and encourage your life partner. Do not give much correction. Instead, pray for change. The more you give correction, the more the person will be corrupted.

  • Love your wife as yourself. (Eph.5: 28/Col.3: 19). Respect your husband. (Eph.5: 24/ Eph.5: 21)

  • Unconditional forgiveness and unlimited prayers will solve all your family problems. "Try to forgive seventy times seven" (Matt.18: 21), i.e., unlimitedly.

  • Have family prayer everyday. "The family that prays together stays together." Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet with special intentions before every decade are good family prayers.

  • Share your burdens and housework with each other. Carrying the burdens each other and fulfill the law of the Lord (Gal.6:2).

  • Do not neglect the needs of the family members. (1Timothy5:8).

  • Do not deny the conjugal right of the life partner even though you do not want it. (1Cor.7: 4). 

Prayer to receive Blessings in a Family

Jesus, do a miracle in our family as you had done a miracle at Cana to save a marriage. Without a miracle, our marriage will not be saved; will not be blessed. So, Lord, we surrender all our family problems to you, come and heal us. O Jesus send your Holy Spirit upon our household and transform us into your likeness and image that we lost by committing sin. Help us Lord, to forgive each other unconditionally. Help us to pray together, to glorify your holy name in your family.

(After this do Divine Mercy Chaplet)

The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy

 

 Jesus said to Blessed Faustina Kowalska:

 

 "Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this chaplet even once, will receive grace from My infinite Mercy."

 This prayer is said using Rosary beads

1. Hold the cross in your hand and make the Sign of the Cross:

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

 2. Say The Our Father:

Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 3. Say The Hail Mary:

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. 

4. Say The Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into the dead. One the third day He rose again. He Ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

5. On the first Rosary Mystery beads say the following prayer:

Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world

6. On the Hail Mary beads say the following prayer:

For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

7. Repeat step 5 and 6 till you complete the cycle around the Rosary. 

8. Ending prayer, (say three times):

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. 

9. Optional prayer:

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen.
