Prayer for Families - Feast of the Holy Family -

Heavenly Father,
We humbly ask you to grant your special graces to our families gathered here.
May their homes be places of peace, purity, love, labor and faith.
We beg you, Father, to protect and bless each family member, both absent and present here today. 
Through the intercession of Mary, the loving Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
we ask that she be a model for all, with trust in God and purity in heart.
Through Mary's intercession, may she guard the cradle of the newborn
and show us the way to be of loving service to all members of our family.
Through the intercession of Blessed Saint Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, we ask for his prayers for the necessities of life.
May he be a model of faith and perseverance, especially for all Christian fathers.
Through our Lord Jesus, we ask for his special blessing during this Year of Mercy, to watch over our families and to protect our homes, to be the source of comfort and healing to the sick and the dying,
so that with Mary and Joseph,
heaven may find our families unbroken in His Sacred Heart.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior for ever and ever. AMEN.
