Holy Family prayer:
Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, Read More

bless our family. Graciously inspire in us the unity, peace, and mutual love that you found in your own family in the little town of Nazareth.
Mary, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, nourish our family with your faith and your love. Keep us close to your Son, Jesus, in all our sorrows and joys.
Joseph, Foster-father to Jesus, guardian and spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm. Help us in all times of discouragement or anxiety.
Holy Family of Nazareth, make our family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace. Grant that love, strengthened by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass.
May we always have God at the center of our hearts and homes until we are all one family, happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen
Spanish:
Jesús, hijo de Dios e hijo de María,Read More
bendice a nuestra familia. Bondadosamente inspira en nosotros la unión, paz y el amor mutuo que hemos encontrado en tu propia familia en el pequeño pueblo de Nazaret.
María, madre de Jesús y nuestra madre. Alimenta a nuestra familia con tú fe y tú amor. Ampáranos cerca de tu hijo Jesús, en todas nuestras penas y alegrías.
José, tutor de Jesús, guardián y esposo de María, Protege a nuestra familia segura de todo daño. Ayúdanos en todos los tiempos de desaliento y ansiedad.
Sagrada Familia de Nazaret, has de nuestra familia una sola contigo. Ayúdanos a ser instrumentos de paz. Concédenos ese amor, fortalecido por la gracia, resultando más poderoso que toda la debilidad y pruebas por las cuales nuestras familias a veces pasan.
Haz que siempre tengamos a Dios al centro de nuestros corazones y hogares hasta que todos seamos una gran familia, feliz y en paz en nuestro verdadero hogar contigo. Amén

صلاة العائلة المقدسةRead More


يايسوع ياابن الله وابن مريم، بارك عوائلنا  وترأف علينا وإلهمنا الوحدة والسلام والحب المتبادل الذي تجده في عائلتك في المدينة الصغيرة، الناصرة.
يامريم ام يسوع وامنا، املأي عوائلنا بايمانك وحبك، واجعلنا بقرب  ابنك يسوع في كل احزاننا وافراحنا.
يا يوسف يا مربي يسوع، وراعي وخطيب مريم العذراء، حافظ على سلام عوائلنا من كل سوء. ساعدنا في كل الاوقات  عند تثبيط العزيمة والقلق.
ياعائلة الناصرة المقدسة اجعلي عوائلنا واحدة معك. ساعدينا ان نكون اداة للسلام. أمنحينا المحبة التي تقويها النعمة، وقد نثبت انها اقوى من جميع نقاط الضعف والتجارب التي تمر بها عوائلنا أحيانًا.
نرجوا ان يكون الله دومًا في مركز قلوبنا وبيوتنا حتى نكون جميعا عائلة واحدة ننعم بالسعادة والسلام في موطننا الحقيقي معك. آمين.
