With Prayers for the Healing of the Family Tree. The focus of this Liturgy will be upon asking the Lord to help us to meet our physical health needs, emotional needs, spiritual needs, and interpersonal needs. Many of our problems have been caused by our own failures, neglect and sinfulness, for which we humbly beg forgiveness. However, we acknowledge that the sins and failings of our ancestors have left their effects upon us in the form of unwanted tendencies, behavior patterns and defects in body, mind and spirit. We will pray for the grace to forgive our forebears and seek healing for all of our wounds.
