Just a quick message to let you know about an initiative taken on by the Archdiocese of New Orleans. They are continuing to proactively battle the affects of internet pornography on our families. I enclose the link to the full article and have reprinted the prayer card relating to this Safe Haven Sunday event taking place in Lent.
Loving Father,
“Thank you for the gift of marriage and family life. We entrust to you our home, where our marriage and family live and grow. We ask you to make it a safe haven for all who live and enter these walls. May our home be a holy place for both young and old to be formed in the truth regarding life, love, sex and marriage. May each of our members be protected from and guided in seeking to avoid pornography, while embracing the freedom and purity of life in Christ.
If there are past wounds that have occurred due to the availability of pornography on our family’s devices or lack of awareness, we ask you to send forth your Spirit to heal, bless, renew and consecrate this home as a safe haven with your son Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, today, tomorrow and always.
We ask this in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth, Saints Joachim and Anne and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Amen.
I recommend that this prayer should be used by us daily as we fight to take control of this addiction.
