Round in the Acts of the Holy Family

Holy God, I pour myself into Your Divine Will,

And here, within Your immensity of love,

I enter every act of the Holy Family.

In every little thing they did,

Lord, I love You, bless You, and thank You,

And I gather all their acts to offer them back to You.

VERSE 1 — MARY

As Mary prepared the meals,

As she washed and mended clothes,

As she swept their little home,

And tended the fire that warmed them,

As she served Jesus and Joseph,

And brought them food and water,

In every loving work of her hands,

Lord, I love You in them all.

CHORUS

In every act of the Holy Family,

Lord, I love You, bless You, and thank You.

I gather every act and offer it to You

On behalf of all humanity.

VERSE 2 — JOSEPH

As Joseph worked the wood,

Providing for Jesus and Mary,

As he taught young Jesus his trade,

Working side by side with Him,

As he guarded Mary and Jesus,

And led them safely into Egypt,

In every sacrifice and hidden care,

Lord, I love You in them all.

CHORUS

In every act of the Holy Family,

Lord, I love You, bless You, and thank You.

I gather every act and offer it to You

On behalf of all humanity.

VERSE 3 — JESUS

As Jesus helped His Mother,

In the little tasks of home,

As He worked beside Saint Joseph,

And obeyed him with love,

In His words and in His footsteps,

In His smiles and hidden acts,

In every ordinary moment,

Lord, I love You in them all.

CHORUS

In every act of the Holy Family,

Lord, I love You, bless You, and thank You.

I gather every act and offer it to You

On behalf of all humanity.

VERSE 4 — TOGETHER

As Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

Ate and spoke together,

As they listened to each other,

And walked and traveled side by side,

In their journeys to Jerusalem,

In their prayers and holy feasts,

In all their silence and conversation,

Lord, I love You in them all.

BRIDGE

In Mary serving Joseph,

In Joseph serving Mary,

In their tender care for Jesus,

And Jesus loving them,

In every prayer and sacrifice,

In every joy and suffering,

I gather all their holy acts

And offer them to You.

FINAL CHORUS

In every act of the Holy Family,

Lord, I love You, bless You, and thank You.

I gather every act and offer it to You

On behalf of all humanity.

May the fruits of all their acts

Descend upon the earth,

May they overflow through every soul,

And rise in praise to Heaven.

May every home become a Nazareth,

Where love and peace increase,

And may Your Divine Will reign in every family,

As in Heaven, so on earth.
