Pope Francis’s Prayer to the Holy Family Card

On December 29, 2013, Pope Francis introduced this Prayer to the Holy Family that he wrote himself, asking the faithful to pray with him for families throughout the world and for the work of the upcoming Synod of Bishops devoted to pastoral care of the family. Pope Francis has made Christian family life a central priority of his remarkable pontificate. For guidance and inspiration, he asks us to fix our gaze on the Holy Family of Nazareth.This prayer card features Pope Francis’s prayer on one side, and a beautiful image of the Holy Family by artist and monk Martin Erspamer, OSB, on the other. It is printed on high-quality, durable paper with a beauty that makes it worthy of use in church, in the context of prayer groups and other meetings, or for family or personal use in the home.
