Let us pray:
O most loving Jesus,
Who by Your sublime and beautiful virtues of humility,
obedience, poverty, modesty, charity, patience and gentleness,
and by the example of Your domestic life,
did bless with peace and happiness
the family You did choose on earth,
in Your clemency look down upon this household,
humbly kneeling before You and imploring Your mercy.
Remember that this family belongs to You;
for to You, we have, in a special way, dedicated and devoted ourselves.
Look upon us in Your loving kindness;
preserve us from danger;
give us help in time of need,
and grant us the grace to persevere
to the end, in the imitation of Your Holy Family;
that having revered You
and loved You faithfully on earth,
we may bless and praise You eternally in heaven.
O Mary, most sweet Mother,
to your intercession we have recourse,
knowing that your Divine Son will hear your prayers.
And to you, O glorious Patriarch, St. Joseph,
assist us by your powerful mediation,
and offer, by the hands of Mary,
our prayers to Jesus.
(Mention all of your prayer intentions and ask that an abundance of grace will be bestowed upon Cardinal Burke.)
Amen.
