Precious Blood of Jesus, wash over me –
my heart, my will, my intellect, my memory, my imagination and my body.
Do the same for each member of my family
and protect all of us from the harassment of the devil.
Cover our home, our vehicles, our places of work, and all places where we will be today.
Bind, rebuke and cast out any evil influence.
Fill our home with your holy angels.
Mother Mary, spread your motherly mantle of protection over me and mine today,and let God’s peace and love reign in our home. (Pierlot)

Prayers for Family
Prayer – from Apostolate for Family Consecration
Dearest Holy Family, please enable me to see the causes of my daily sins and faults and give them to Jesus so that he can wash them in his Precious Blood and transform them into virtues.
Help me to visualize how you would act if you were in m place at this time and how you would treat the members of my family. Help me to show affection rather than anger to all you bring into my life, especially those in my own family
Prayer for our Family #3 – Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Heavenly Father, you have given us the model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O Loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace and joy reign. May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, revived with joy.
Help us 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. Immaculate Heart of Mary, cause of our joy, pray for us. St. Joseph, pray for us. Holy Guardian Angels, be always with us, guide and protect us.Amen.
