“Here are my Mother and my Brothers.”

Heavenly Father, help us to grow in our relationship with you through your Son. Grant us the grace of brotherly and sisterly relationships that transcends race, culture, color and even blood relationships. To have a baptismal certificate is one thing, but to establish personal relationship with you is another. May we be able to live out these two aspects of our identity, that we are baptized and called your children because we believe and love you.
  
We ask this through our Lord Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Edgar Benedi-an, OSM
