Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary & Joseph

Friday 30th December 2016.

Prayer to the Holy Family

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

In you we contemplate the splendour of true love;

To you we turn with trust.

Holy Family of Nazareth,

Grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schoold of the Gospel and small domestic churches.

Holy Family of Nazareth,

May families never again experience violence, rejection and division;

may all who have been hurt or scandalised find ready comfort and healing.

Holy Family of Nazareth,

Make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and it’s beauty in God’s plan.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Graciously hear our prayer.

Amen

(Prayer by Pope Francis to mark the preparation of for the World Meeting of Families in 2018;

Theme: The Gospel of the Family:Joy to the World)

(Copies of this Prayer available in the 3 Churches)
