LMC Prayer to the Holy Family
1
Holy Family of Nazareth,
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate
the splendour of true love,
your unquenchable thirst
to accomplish the divine will at any cost,
to you we turn with trust for help and guidance.
2
Holy Family of Nazareth,
make our family and our LMC group another Nazareth,
may it be a place of communion, bearing and sharing,
authentic school of prayer, sacrifice and works of mercy
and domestic church of warm welcome and generous hospitality.
3
Holy Family of Nazareth,
awaken in the hearts
of all the members of our LMC Movement
the sacredness of our LMC vocation
and its beauty in God’s plan.
4
Holy Family of Nazareth,
bless your own Lay Missionaries of Charity
so that we may grow in holiness,
increase in number
and persevere in our holy vocation.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen
