DAY 6 OF THE THANKSGIVING NOVENA TO ST ANNE FOR PEACE IN THE FAMILY
Dearest Saint Anne, I come to beg you to restore peace in my home. A family where all are at peace with one another is happy. If there is dissension and arguments between husband and wife, children and parents, life becomes unbearable.
Teach me, dear Saint Anne, that the price everyone has to pay for peace and understanding is selfessness. There can be no cooperation if no one is willing to sacrifice some of their judgments, feelings or whims. Whenever there is disagreement, peace can only be restored when everyone is willing to go more than half way towards reconciliation.
Dearest Saint Anne, grant us the gift of peace promised to men and women of "good will". Give husbands, wives and their children the will to make the sacrifices needed for peace at home. One of the most beautiful sights on Earth is a peaceful and loving home. Help us make this possible. Amen.
