O God, who has given me the holy parents and children of heaven as models and intercessors, grant, I beseech Thee, that I may follow their example, persevere in good by the help of their prayers, and enjoy their company eternally in heaven. Teach me, a parent, O Lord, to be a model for my children in word and example, that they may see in my actions what they are taught by my words.

Graciously look down, O Lord, on our family. Fill its members with Your choicest blessings, that, united in faith and love, we may become a faithful image of the Holy family of Nazareth. May Jesus be constantly amongst us, may His holy Mother be our teacher, and Joseph, the blessed foster-father our guide, our protector, and our never-failing aid in all things. Grant my petitions, I beseech Thee Almighty Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with Thee and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns one God, forever and ever.

Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory Be…
