Please be seated-

Rea"er 2#$read each paragraph with little pause%#

Lord +esus, we have gathered here to than% you for this 4ew 2ear- It is with hope and e5pectation

that we enter this year- /ay this 4ew 2ear be a year of grace and blessing- Ignoring our sinfulness

and unworthiness, you have deigned to give us this year as a fresh occasion to love you and serve

you- e praise you and glorify you for your love- As we pray humbly before you, tell us what you

want us to do during this year and give us strength, courage and determination to do it-

6ear brothers and sisters, this year we plan to meditate on our (amily Life- The running theme for

our Holy Hour of Adoration is 7(amily and the &hurch8- Today we meditate on &Fam'(y) A

Nuc(ear *+urc+,#

The (amily is ordained of God- It is the important unit in time and in eternity- !ven before we were

born on earth we were part of a family- !ach of us 7is beloved son and daughter of our Heavenly

(ather- God is our (ather and we lived in His presence as part of His (amily- ecause of God9s love

for us, He prepared a plan that included our coming on earth- This plan is called 7the plan of

salvation8, 7the great plan of Happiness8- As part of our heavenly (ather9s plan, we were born into

families- He established families to bring us happiness, to help us learn correct principles in aloving atmosphere, and to prepare us for eternal life-

Parents have the vital responsibility to help their children to Heavenly (ather- Parents fulfill this

responsibility by teaching their children to follow +esus &hrist and live His Gospel- The &hurch

provides the organi:ation and means for teaching the Gospel to all of God9s children- It provides the

priesthood authority to administer the ordinances of salvation and e5altation to all who are worthy

and willing to accept them-

't- &yprian says 74o one can have God as (ather who does not have the &hurch as /other,8 which

is ;uoted in the #atechism of the #atholic #hurch, no- 1
