GOD our Heavenly Father, You call all peoples
to be united as one family in worshipping You
as the one and true God. You willed that Your
Son become man, giving Him a virgin mother
and a foster father to form the Holy Family of
Nazareth.
WE pray: may the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary
and Joseph, image and model of every human
family unit walk in the spirit of Nazareth and
grow in the understanding of its particular
mission in society and the Church. May our
families be living cells of love, faithfulness and
unity, thus reflecting God's covenant with
humanity and Christ's redeeming love for His
Church.
JESUS, Mary and Joseph protect our families
from all evil; keep us, who are away from home,
one in love with our dear ones.
