God, strengthen the bond of love in all families throughout the world.
Jesus, your Son, grew in wisdom and grace in a safe and joyful home.
Let all children grow to know they have been created in Your image and likeness.
Let them see their worth reflected in the eyes of loving parents.
Joseph humbly placed his trust in You and offered his life in service
to his family.
Give all fathers a listening heart to discern your will.
Give them the generosity of spirit to tenderly care for their family.
Mary joyfully answered Your call wanting to live her life according to Your will.
May all mothers have the strength to accept Your call to holiness.
May they have the courage to hear Your Word and proclaim Your greatness.
