The Family Intention is a prayer of unity — a single offering representing many hearts joined as one. Within St. Peter's Basilica, your family's intention joins the collective light, offered before the Lord as a symbol of love, protection, and shared faith.
Each prayer honors the sacred bond that unites generations — past, present, and yet to come — and stands as a reminder that no distance or hardship can divide those kept together in prayer.
As your intention rises amidst the holy light of the Basilica, may it reflect the warmth of your home, the strength of your faith, and the blessing of God who watches over all who dwell in His light.
To keep your loved ones bound together in faith and peace, that your family may be strengthened by the light of Christ.
To invite God’s grace and protection upon your home, that His presence may dwell among all who share in your table and prayer.
To pray that each member of your family may grow in holiness, discovering God’s will and living it with courage and joy.
