πŸ•‚The Litany of the Holy Family


Lord have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy on us.
Christ have mercy on us.
Christ have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy on us.
Christ hear us.
Christ graciously hear us.

God the Father, of heaven,
Have Mercy on us. *

God the Son, Redeemer of the world, *
God the Holy Ghost, *
Holy Trinity, one God, *

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, 
Pray for us. **

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, worthy objects of 
our reverence and love, **

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, by the voice of all ages 
called the Holy Family, **

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, names for ever blessed of the Father, the Mother, and the Child, who compose the Holy Family, **

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, image on earth 
of the august Trinity, **

Holy Family, tried by the greatest contradictions, **

Holy Family, afflicted in your journey to Bethlehem, **

Holy Family, rejected by all, and obliged 
to take refuge in a stable, **

Holy Family, saluted by the concerts of the angels, **

Holy Family, visited by the poor shepherds, **

Holy Family, venerated by the Wise Men, **

Holy Family, persecuted and exiled in a strange country, **

Holy Family, hidden and unknown at Nazareth, **

Holy Family, model of Christian families, **

Holy Family, living in peace and charity, **

Holy Family, whose Head is a model of paternal vigilance, **

Holy Family, whose Spouse is a model of maternal care, **

Holy Family, whose Child is a model of 
obedience and filial piety, **

Holy Family, who led a poor, laborious, and penitent life, **

Holy Family, poor in the goods of the world 
but rich in the goods of heaven, **

Holy Family, despised by the world, but great before God, **

Holy Family, our support in life, our hope in death, **

Holy Family, patrons and protectors of our Confraternity, **

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, **


Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, 
Spare us, O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, 
Hear us, O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, 
Have mercy on us. 


Christ hear us.
Christ graciously hear us.

Let us Pray:

O God of goodness and mercy, who hast been pleased to call us to this Confraternity of the Holy Family; grant that we may always honour and imitate Jesus, Mary, and Joseph; so that, pleasing them on earth, we may enjoy their presence in heaven; through the same Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen
