"The Holy Family of Nazareth is truly the 'prototype' of every Christian family which, united in the Sacrament of Marriage and nourished by the Word and the Eucharist, is called to carry out the wonderful vocation and mission of being the living cell not only of society but also of the Church, a sign and instrument of unity for the entire human race. Let us now invoke for every family, especially families in difficulty, the protection of Mary Most Holy and of St Joseph. May they sustain such families so that they can resist the disintegrating forces of a certain contemporary culture which undermines the very foundations of the family institution."
-- Pope Benedict XVI
Lord God in Heaven, help my family to be more like the Holy Family.
Help us to remember You in every act --
in work, in play, in our time together and apart.
Help us to find the peace of the Newborn God in our hearts,
as Mary and Joseph did, and the fortitude to do Your Will always.
Amen
