This is one of my favorite prayers to pray on Sundays during communion, especially now with even more members in my family. I think today is especially appropriate. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Prayer to the Holy Family
O Jesus, look graciously upon our family here before you. Once more we consecrate ourselves before you -- our trials and joys -- that our home may ever be the shrine of peace, purity, love, and faith. Protect and bless all of us, both absent and present, and be merciful to those departed.
O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, pray to Jesus for our family, for all the families of the world, to guard the cradle of the newborn, the schools of the young and their vocations.
O Joseph, holy Guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by your prayers in all the necessities of life. Be present at the pillow of the sick and dying so that we may all be united to Jesus and Mary and you for all eternity. Amen.
