Prayer to the Holy Family
Lord  Jesus  Christ, who, being made subject to  Mary  and Joseph, didst consecrate domestic  life  by Thine ineffable virtues; grant that we, with the assistance of both, may be taught by the example of Thy holy Family and may attain to its everlasting fellowship. Who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.
