Prayer:

Heavenly Father, through the intercession of Our Lady of the Arctic Snows, please bless my family with a shower of graces from your merciful heart. Give us strength to overcome our struggles and guide us to unite ourselves to one another in devotion to the Gospel. May the example of the Holy Family, with the aid of your Holy Spirit, protect us against all difficulties we may encounter and urge us to live truthful, compassionate, and faith-filled lives. May the love that binds us only grow stronger as we walk closer with you. Please help us to actively encourage vocations to the priesthood and religious life within our homes. Grant me and my family forgiveness for any sins we have committed and help us to forgive each other. Lord, please grant a return to the Church and sacraments for any of my family who have drifted away. During this special family novena to Mary under her title, Our Lady of the Arctic Snows, I humbly ask for this special intention:

______________________________________

Our Lady of the Arctic Snows, Pray for us.
