O Blessed Virgin Mary, you are the mother and queen of every Christian family.

When you conceived and gave birth to Jesus, human motherhood reached its greatest achievement.

From the time of the Annunciation you were the living chalice of the Son of God made man.

You are the queen of the home.

As a woman of faith, you inspire all mothers to transmit faith to their children.

Watch over our families.

Let children learn free and loving obedience inspired by your obedience to God.

Let parents learn dedication and selflessness based on your unselfish attitude.

Let all families honor you and remain devoted to you so that they may be held together by your example and your intercession.

Amen.
