Saints LightPrayer to the Holy Family
A prayer to Jesus, Mary and Joseph as the model and protector of every Christian family; written for this app. Pray it together as a family, and especially on the Feast of the Holy Family, the Sunday after Christmas.
The prayer
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in your little house at Nazareth you lived the ordinary life of a family: working, eating, praying, and loving one another through good days and hard ones.
Look kindly on our family. Jesus, be the center of our home. Mary, teach us tenderness and faith. Joseph, teach us quiet strength and faithful work. Protect us from everything that would divide us. Give husbands and wives a love that lasts, give children respect and joy, and give all of us patience with each other's faults.
Bless every family that is struggling, broken or grieving tonight. Holy Family of Nazareth, make our families holy. Amen.
Pray it this week
Pray this together at one family meal this week, and let each person name one thing they are grateful for in another family member.
