O three holy persons
united as one
in the humble home at Nazareth,
Mary and Joseph
with God’s only Son…
who became your Son,
who became our Son,
who became our Brother
in all things human
and shared with you
the food of your table
and the dust beneath your feet –
you are our model upon this earth;
you we should follow
to find new birth in the Spirit,
to find ourselves sons of the Father,
to be as brother to Christ.
O Holy Family,
what a blessed trinity you form
in the love of God and neighbor;
pray we not fall short of your grace.
