As today is Thursday, April 10, 2025, the Catholic Church observes the Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent. The designated prayer for today is the Prayer for Christian Families:
Prayer for Christian Families:
O Lord, God of goodness and mercy, who in the midst of an evil and sinful world hast presented to the society of the redeemed the Holy Family of Nazareth as a spotless mirror of piety, justice, and love, be pleased to look graciously upon our family, and grant that it may imitate the example of Your Holy Family in all its virtues, so that, united in the bonds of mutual charity, it may taste the joy of Your presence here below and one day possess the eternal happiness in heaven.
Amen
This prayer seeks divine guidance and blessings for families to emulate the virtues exemplified by the Holy Family, fostering unity and holiness within the household.
Additionally, the Saint of the Day is Saint Michael de Sanctis, a Spanish priest known for his deep devotion to the Eucharist and his exemplary piety. He is remembered for his commitment to a life of holiness and his dedication to the service of others
