O Holy Family Of Nazareth

O Blessed Family of Nazareth, sacred assembly of love comprising Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you stand as the ideal for all Christian households. We commit our families into your care. Open every family's heart to faith, welcoming God's Word, and a life of Christian witness, that they may become a wellspring of new and holy vocations. Inspire the hearts of parents to provide guidance with loving care, wise attention, and a prompt readiness, leading their children toward spiritual and eternal goods. Ignite within the youth a sense of right conscience and the freedom of will, so that as they grow in "wisdom, age, and grace," they may joyfully embrace the gift of a Divine calling. Holy Family of Nazareth, may we all, by reflecting on and emulating your steadfast prayer, generous obedience, noble simplicity, and chaste purity experienced in your midst, strive to fulfill God’s will and support those among us called to follow the Lord Jesus more closely, who “has given Himself for us” (cf. Gal 2:20).Amen.
