Heavenly Father,
Help our family to stay together in joy
and sorrow in family prayer.
Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our families,
especially in their distressing disguise.
May the eucharistic heart of Jesus
make our hearts humble like his
and help us to carry out
our family duties in a holy way.
May we love one another
as God loves each one of us,
more and more each day,
and forgive each other's faults
as You forgive our sins.
Help us, O Loving Father,
to take whatever You give
and give whatever You take with a big smile.
