Our Family Prayer

O God, Father of all people,
in Your divine plan
You created the Family as a special sign of Your love.

Your son, Jesus, walked among us in the family of Mary and Joseph.
They created a home in which the Word of God was revered, obeyed, and lived;
where they grew in wisdom and grace,
and gave of themselves unselfishly to God, their family and others.

With the Holy Family as our model,
help us to keep you as the center of our lives
and reflect our relationship with You in our homes.

Bless and protect each of us, our families and our parish,
all members of God’s family.

Send Your peace upon us
and grant us the grace to serve You
and each other, that in doing so we may provide glory to You.

Amen.
