Prayer to the Holy Family

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, like you we are members
of the Father's family. We pray that our family
love may reflect his love on its openness to all
people. May we forgive even when not forgiven,
and be patient with one another’s weaknesses.

Jesus, give us peace, unity and strength to
meet the difficulties of daily living. May we
use our family resources to improve the
quality of life for all people and ourselves.
Let us show joy in serving, for whatever
we do for others, we do for you.

Mary, inspire us, that our love may be
strong but not possessive. Let our willingness
to give depend on the needs of others
rather than on the cost of giving.

Joseph, help us to be attentive to the
Father's will. Let us be ready, as you were,
to act whenever he calls us.
