Prayer for Families

We begin our prayer in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

We bless your name, O Lord,
for sending your own incarnate Son,
to become part of a family,
so that, as he lived its life,
he would experience its worries and its joys.

We ask  you, Lord,
to protect and watch over this family,
so that in the strength of your grace
its members may enjoy prosperity,
possess the priceless gift of your peace,
and, as the Church alive in the home,
bear witness in this world to your glory.

We ask this throught Christ our Lord.
Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
