On Receiving Communion
Over the past past year or so people have come to me over and over again asking me to pray for their families. Parents estranged from children. Children angry with parents. Spouses at war. Siblings who don’t speak. Family members chained by addictions of all kinds. Family members who are sick and caregivers who are exhausted. I feel like I am seeing the front lines of the attack on and suffering of the Family.
In my prayer I have felt our Lady tell me over and over again that she is in union with the Divine will. She is all things relationship with the Trinity. Daughter of the Father, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, and Mother of the Son. She knows union with God and we can, by following her example, have loving relationships with one another.
This week in my prayers I very clearly heard her tell me that she wants to heal Families. That she is Our Lady Healer of Families and she wants a devotion under this title. She asked me to have an Icon painted and a Litany written. But she didn’t want me to write it. She identified to me who she wanted to do these two things. My cousin, Kathleen Carr, to paint the Icon, and a friend of mine to write the Litany. She called them both, “My daughters, my friends.” I called both my cousin and my friend. My cousin informed me she had prayed only the night before about what to paint next — and then I called her in the morning. She was amazed and quickly said she would do it so I gave her the parameters I saw in my prayer. Her Icon will be part two of this post. Please keep her in prayer as she paints.
My friend also agreed to write the Litany but has asked that her name be withheld and that you focus solely on the prayer. I decided to post the prayer even though the Painting isn’t ready because in the past two days, I have had multiple people come to me asking for prayers for their families. I was told in prayer to promulgate this Litany and so I am posting it now. I feel this can be said as a Novena by praying the Litany for 9 days and then saying a Rosary after you pray the Litany. So without further ado;
