Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day
be at my side
To light, to love,
and be my guide.
A Prayer for Parents

Most loving Father, the example of parenthood,
you have entrusted our children to us
to bring them up for you
and prepare them for everlasting life. 
Assist us with your grace
that we may fulfill this sacred duty with competence and love. 
Teach us what to give and what to withhold. 
Show us when to reprove, when to praise, and when to be silent. 
Make us gentle and considerate, yet firm and watchful. 
Keep us from the weakness of indulgence and the excess of severity.
Give us the courage to be disliked sometimes by our children
when we must do necessary things which are displeasing in their eyes. 
Give us the imagination to enter their world
in order to understand and guide them. 
Grant us all the virtues we need
to lead them by word and example in the ways of wisdom and piety. 
One day with them,
may we enter into the joys
of our true and lasting home with you in heaven. 
Amen.
Prayer for a Family

O, dear Jesus, I humbly implore you
to grant your special graces to our family. 
May our home be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor, and faith. 
I beg you, dear Jesus,
to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead. 
O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
pray to Jesus for our family,
for all the families of the world,
to guard the cradle of the newborn,
the schools of the young, and their vocations.
Blessed St. Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary,
assist us by your prayers in all the necessities of life. 
Ask of Jesus that special grace which he granted to you
to watch over our home
at the pillow of the sick and the dying
so that with Mary and with you,
heaven may find our family unbroken
in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Amen.
Prayer of Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, light;
and where there is sadness, joy. 
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love. 
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
