I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God.

                                                                       Psalm 52:8

God of all goodness,

you call us to be members of your holy family.

May we receive the willingness of St. Joseph 

to embrace that which we do not understand.

May we receive the grace of Mary to

welcome into our very being the Word of God.

And may we receive the love of Jesus,

that we might serve one another

  with humble and generous hearts. 

Holy Family, pray for us.  Amen.

"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."

                                                                                                         St. Augustine
