“In leading family life and in educating children married clergy are to show an outstanding example to other Christian faithful.” (Cf. 1990 Code of Canons of Oriental Churches, Canon, n. 375)

PRAYER FOR THE SANTIFICATION OF FAMILIES

“Holy Jesus, we commend to your merciful care our dear families, to strengthen the bonds between parents and children, so that they can resist the temptations of the world and hold fast to their faith in the saving grace of your Cross, from which you announced to your Blessed Mother and to your Beloved Disciple, John, “Behold your Mother… Behold your Son.” We pray in your Name, who with the Father, and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, world without end. Amen.” (The Most Reverend Thomas O. Gore, S.F.U.)

On Monday, July 11, 2016, we established the Sanctification of Families Union of Saint Francis of Assisi (S.F.U.). The Union is an international confraternity of prayer and ministry. It is comprised of priests, pastors, brothers, sisters, and laity from all religious traditions who commit to prayer for the sanctification of families and of married Roman Catholic priests.

Membership is without charge. A free-will offering when enrolling accomplishes many good works, but it is not required for membership.

The sole commitment of members is to pray for the benefit of the sanctification of families and of married Roman Catholic priests.

Note: “…many elements of sanctification and of truth” are found

outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: “The written

Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the

other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements.”

Christ’s Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as

means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace

and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves

calls to “Catholic unity.” (Cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 819)
