Family tree prayer

[lynnehelen]

Would somebody be so kind as to remind me of the “family tree prayer”? I would like to be able to pray it for long-lost relatives and friends abroad both in Canada and in England as well as for members of my birth family here in America.

God Bless

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

Prayer For Healing The Family Tree
Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F.

Heavenly Father, I come before You as Your child, in great need of Your help; I have physical health needs, emotional needs, spiritual needs, and interpersonal needs. Many of my problems have been caused by my own failures, neglect and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg Your forgiveness, Lord. But I also ask You to forgive the sins of my ancestors whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of unwanted tendencies, behaviors patterns and defects in body, mind and spirit. Heal me, Lord, of all these disorders.

With Your help I sincerely forgive everyone, especially living or dead members of my family tree, who have directly offended me or my loved ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present sufferings and disorders. In the name of Your divine Son Jesus, and in the power of His Holy Spirit, I ask You, Father, to deliver me and my entire family tree from the influence of the evil one. Free all living and dead members of my family tree, including those in adoptive relationships, and those in extended family relationships, from every contaminating form of bondage. By your loving concern for us, Heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of Your Precious Son Jesus, I beg You to extend Your blessing to me and all my living and deceased relatives. Heal every negative effect transmitted through all past generations, and prevent such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.

I symbolically place the cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my family tree, and between each generation; I ask You to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the blood lines of my family lineage. Set Your protective angels to encamp around us, and permit Archangel Raphael, the patron of healing, to administer Your divine healing power to all of us, even in areas of genetic disability. Give special power to our family members’ guardian angels to heal, protect, guide, and encourage each of us in all of our needs. Let Your healing power be released at this very moment, and let it continue as long as Your sovereignty permits.

In our family tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding in family love. And let there be an ever deeper bonding with You, Lord, by the Holy Spirit, to Your Son Jesus. Let the family of the Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships. All of our unknown needs we include with this petition that we pray in Jesus’ precious Name.

Amen.

“Those are pearls that were his eyes,
And all of him that doth remain
Hath undergone a sea change
Into something rich and strange…”

Shakespeare–my old religion–I don’t remember it very well but this passage describes a death at sea. My family relationships are undergoing a “sea change,” with the help of this prayer, and perhaps it is no coincidence that the image of death comes up as many deaths were not attended to properly, both recently, and probably in the distant past. I am forgiving my father, and talked to him without fear for the first time in (?) how many years. With my mother it’s harder, but I am praying. My father informed me that one of my English first cousins just got engaged (his much younger brother’s son, Paul.)

I need to specifically include my own immediate family (husband and son) even though we have decided on divorce, as of course, through Ian, my son, and for him, the family tree has a new branch and he of course, and also I, am connected with–old friends, as my husband’s family is Scottish/English/ Newfoundlander Irish, and there are riches of connections there to be made, as I have numerous relatives in Canada, my husband and I also may have enmity between us through our family trees, now joined in Ian.

So, also for Ian’s family tree, and for Ian.

I long to know more of my father’s family, as we were disconnected when he made the decision to move to the States. I know that somewhere in his ancestry there’s a pirate! I have probably heard only a millionth of the tales to be told. I pray that he forgives his mother. On my mother’s side there was a scandal, maybe that’s why all the animosity in her and in our lives.

Thank you, I will return to this Post again.

Praying.
