Let us Pray
O God, who has given me the holy parents and children of heaven as models and intercessors, grant, I beseech Thee, that I may follow their example, persevere in good by the help of their prayers, and enjoy their company eternally in heaven.
Teach me, a parent, O Lord, to be a model for my children in word and example, that they may see in my actions what they are taught by my words.
Graciously look down, O Lord, on our family. Fill its members with Your choicest blessings, that, united in faith and love, we may become a faithful image of the Holy family of Nazareth.
May Jesus be constantly amongst us, may His holy Mother be our teacher, and Joseph, the blessed foster-father our guide, our protector, and our never failing aid in all things. Grant my petitions, I beseech Thee Almighty Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with Thee and the Holy Ghost lives and reigns one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary. Glory Be
