God of Goodness and mercy, to your fatherly protection we commend our family, our household and all that belongs to us. We entrust all to Your love and keeping.  Fill our home with your blessings as you filled the holy house of Nazareth.

 

Above all else, keep far from us the stain of sin.  We want You alone to rule over us.  Help each one of us to obey Your holy laws, to love You sincerely, and to imitate Your example, the example of Mary, Your Holy Mother and ours, and the example of Your holy guardian Saint Joseph.

​

Lord, preserve us and our home from all evils and misfortunes.  May we ever be resigned to your divine will even in the crosses and sorrows which you allow to come to us.

​

Finally, give all of us the grace to live in perfect harmony and love toward our neighbour.   Grant that everyone of us may deserve by a holy life, the comfort of Your Holy Sacraments at the hour of death.

​

Bless this house, God the Father, who created Jesus, God the Son, who suffered for us upon the cross, and God, the Holy Spirit, who sanctified us in baptism.  May the one God in three divine persons preserve bodies, purify our minds, and direct our hearts and bring us all to Everlasting Life.

​

Glory be to the Father.

Glory be to the Son. 

Glory be to the Holy Spirit. 

​

Amen.

​
