Lord Jesus Christ,

I praise and thank you for my parents and my brothers and sisters

whom you have given me to cherish.

Surround them with your tender, loving care,

teach them to love and serve one another in true affection

and to look to you in all their needs.

I place them all in your care,

knowing that your love for them is greater than my own.

Keep us close to one another in this life

and conduct us at the last to our true and heavenly home.

Blessed be God for ever.

Amen
