The Holy Family in Prayer

The good fruits of temptations

Saint Alphonsus Liguori remarks that the Lord always has in view to detach us from the things of the earth, and to make us desire more ardently those of heaven. “Good souls, he says, seeing themselves assailed at all times and in all places by so many dangerous enemies, are bored with life. They long for the hour when they will be able to sing with the Prophet: The net is broken, and we are delivered. They would like to fly to God; but they are held back on earth, unceasingly subject to temptations, waiting for the hour to leave it to come at last.” We must bear them to the end with patience and resignation, full of confidence in the mercy of God, who will not only never allow us to be tempted beyond our strength, but will also give us the grace to acquire new merits, and thus multiply our reward in heaven.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
