Day 1
O MOST loving Jesus, who through thy ineffable virtues and the example of thy domestic life didst sanctify on earth the family chosen by thee, graciously look down on this our family which throws itself at thy feet and implores thy grace. Remember that this family is thy property, because it has given and consecrated itself to thy love and service. Graciously protect it, save it from dangers, lend it thy assistance in tribulation and bestow on it strength to persevere in the imitation of thy Holy Family, so that after having faithfully continued in obedience and love during the time of its earthly pilgrimage, it may one day sing thy praise for ever in heaven.
O Mary, most sweet Mother, we implore thy protection, trusting with confidence that thy divine Son will hear thy requests.
And thou also, most glorious Patriarch, Saint Joseph, come to our assistance with thy mighty protection, place our resolutions in the hands of Mary, that she may present them to Jesus Christ.
