OT Genesis 33:1-11
Psalm 91
Epistle Ephesians 6:1-9
Gospel Luke 15:11-24
Evening Psalm 68: 1-10 / Col.3: 12-17
Collect: Gracious God, who granted family as a gift to the human beings, continue to bless
the family life where they find mutual love and care. We are grateful to you for shaping and
moulding human life in the setting of the family. In the family life, we learn the importance of
sharing, loving and respecting each other as Jesus taught us through his self-sacrificing life
on this earth. Help us to create a space of healing in the family for every member so that
they may experience your continuous forgiveness, grace and happiness; through Jesus
Christ, who lives and reigns with you in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
