Family Prayer To The Holy Family
O Heavenly Father, our loving God, you have given us the Holy Family
as our patron to bless and guide our families that the fruit of the
Holy Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, humility, and self-control - shall reign in our homes.
As husbands and wives, teach us to love our spouses more than ever.
As parents, give us wisdom and knowledge in rearing our offsprings to
be responsible and successful Christians forever. As brothers and
sisters, may we learn to care and support for one another and be of
inspiration to each other. As children, teach us to be obedient just
as Jesus showed obedience and respect to Mary and Joseph.
As Christians, melt us, mold us, fill us, and use us, in spreading
the good news in our community that they may see Christ in us. When
trials come, help us to face them with trusting faith and confidently
hope that all things work for good for those who love God. May we
have a happy holy family forever through Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, our
miraculous patron, the adorable Holy Family. Amen.
Gabriella's Prayer to the Holy Family
Oh, Holy Family, Jesus, Mary, Joseph...Jesus, help us to obey our parents.
Mary, help us to be faithful and close to God.
Joseph, help us in our work and to die a happy death.
Oh, Holy Family, pray for us.
Amen.
Mother Teresa's Nazareth Prayer for the Family
Heavenly Father, You have given us a model of life in the Holy Family of
Nazareth. Help us, O loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth
where love, peace, and joy reign.
May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, and vibrant with
joy. Help us to stay together in joy and sorrow through family prayer.
Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our family, especially in their
distressing disguise.
May the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus make our hearts meek and humble like
His and help us to carry out our family duties in a holy way.
May we love one another as God loves each one of us more and more each
day, and forgive each others' faults as You forgive our sins.
Help us, O loving Father, to take whatever You give and to give whatever
You take with a big smile.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, cause of our joy, pray for us. St. Joseph,
pray for us. Holy Guardian Angels, be always with us, guide and protect
us. Amen.
