Father, help us to live as the holy family,
united in respect and love.
Bring us to the joy and peace
of your eternal home.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Father, help us to live as the holy family, united in respect and love. Bring us to the joy and peace of your eternal home... Teach us the sanctity of human love, show us the value of family life, and help us to live in peace with all men that we may share in your life forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. ~from the Opening Prayers for the Mass of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
