Prayer for the Family


Prayer for the Family

O God, Who has given us in the Holy Family of Nazareth a perfect model of family life lived in faith and in obedience to Your will, we thank You for our family. Grant us the strength to remain united in life, in generosity and in the joy of living together. Help us in mission of handing on the faith we received from our parents. 

Open our hearts to our children, so that the gift of faith they received in Baptism may grow in them. Strengthen the faith of our older children, so that they may grow in the knowledge of Jesus. Increase love and fidelity in all couples, and especially in times of suffering and difficulty. Grant Your grace and blessing to all the world’s families and bless especially our Holy Father N. with wisdom and strength. United with Joseph and Mary, we ask you to grant us these blessings through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
