Let’s Pray for Our Families Dec 27 & 28

This week, the Knights of Columbus invite all

parishioners to offer this Holy Family prayer and reflect

on the life of the Holy Family as we seek their help for our families. We will pray this together next weekend to consecrate our families and parish families at all Masses,

O Lord Jesus,

You lived in the home of Mary and Joseph in Nazareth. There You grew in age, wisdom and grace as You pre-pared to fulfill Your mission as our Redeemer.

We entrust our family to You.

O Blessed Mary,

You are the Mother of our Savior. At Nazareth you cared for Jesus and nurtured Him in the peace and joy of your home.

We entrust our family to you.

O Saint Joseph,

You provided a secure and loving home for Jesus and Mary, and gave us a model of fatherhood while showing us the dignity of work.

We entrust our family to you.

Holy Family,

We consecrate ourselves and our family to you. May we be completely united in a love that is lasting, faithful and open to the gift of new life. Help us grow in virtue, to for-give one another from our hearts, and to live in peace all of our days. Keep us strong in faith, persevering in pray-er, diligent in our work, and generous toward those in need. May our home, O Holy Family, truly become the domestic church where we reflect your example in our daily life. Amen.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us!
