In the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

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 schools 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 scandalized find ready comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Graciously hear our prayer. Amen.
(from Pope Francis’ “Prayer to the Holy Family,” December 29, 2013).

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
Amen

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation; grant we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen

Dear God, Thank You for my parents, siblings, all my extended families and friends. The people in our lives are placed there by You. Keep them safe, today and always. Keep them close to You. We pray for all of them today, that they have a blessed life.
Amen

God, thank You for the abundance of life You have provided, and thank You that in times of need You are there. Please, put Your arms around children and families in poverty, so they feel comfort and hope. Meet their needs both physically and spiritually. We also pray for all the countries at war today. We ask that You bring peace, so that families can stay safe.
Amen

Lord, You love all of us. Please bring healing to those who are not well. Stay by their side and comfort them through this trying time. Keep them ever mindful of Your loving presence. Bless them with Your powerful healing and comfort them too.
Amen

Lord, we want to remember the departed souls, especially our family members. We exalt Your name for the good life they lived. We pray oh Lord, that everlasting life be given unto them. Heavenly Father, be with their soul and may they rest in eternal peace.
Amen

Dear Mother Mary, my holy mother, I love you so much and I give you my heart. Help me to love God. Help me to love my neighbour as a child of God. Help me to love myself as a child of God. Guide us to be more like your Son, Jesus, in all we do and all we say.
Amen
