Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, 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 spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm.
Help us in all times of discouragement and anxiety.
Holy Family of Nazareth, make our family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace. Grant that love strengthen by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our family sometimes pass. May we always have God at the center of our hearts and homes until we are one family, happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen

Almighty, God, our Rock and our Salvation, we ask you to pour out Your Holy Spirit upon our nation. Heal the divisions that separate us and remove all obstacles to authentic unity.
Guide this great country and lead all to embrace one another as neighbors and fellow countrymen, created in Your own image and likeness.
May we seek to be people of faith and charity. Help us to always remain One Nation, Under God.
