Mary, Mother of the Church, Mother of humankind, Mother of Jesus, with Him, and Joseph, you were the Holy Family.
Here in the Boly Mill, the Soubirous family lived in happiness, Sharing their joys and their sufferings, confiding their cares in prayer to you, welcoming and generous toward others.
You looked down on each one with tenderness.
You were already preparing little Bernadette to receive your message and carry out her mission.
Watch over our families.
We confide them to your care.
May they be places of love, of respect of forgiveness, of welcome.
May each family member grow in grace as a child of God, living the Gospel, serving others, in the immense family of the Church of whom you are the Mother.
AMEN
