Family Prayer

Here is a daily family prayer for all of us. Let us submit ourselves and our families to the divine will of our Heavenly Father.

O God of goodness and mercy, to Thy fatherly guidance we commend our family, our household and all our belongings. We commit all to Thy love and keeping.

Keep far from us, above all else, the blemish of sin, and do Thou alone reign in our midst by Thy law, by Thy most holy love and by the exercise of every Christian virtue. Let each one of us obey Thee, love Thee and set ourselves to follow by example the life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Protect us and our house from all evils and misfortunes, but grant that we may be ever resigned to Thy Divine Will even in the sorrows which it shall please Thee to send us. Finally, give unto all of us the grace to live in perfect harmony and in the fullness of love toward our neighbor. Grant that every one of us may deserve by holy life the comfort of Thy holy Sacraments at the hour of death. O Jesus, bless us and protect us. Amen.
