Prayer for Protection of the Family

Saint Joseph, please protect our families from the seductive attractions of the world and the subtle attacks from the evil one. Bless our fathers with the strength, courage, foresight, and self-sacrifice that you possessed in leading and protecting the Holy Family from the many evils of the day.

Bless all the members of our family with a single-mindedness to respect each other; to be obedient to our father's headship; to always strive to do the will of God; to trust in Jesus; and to be worthy dwellings for the Holy Spirit.

We especially ask for these favors for our family now [requests].

Saint Joseph, we are so grateful, help us spread our devotion to other families.

Amen.
