About "A Family Prayer"

This is a prayer my late wife,  Mary,  had kept in a drawer and I found it after she had died.  It has a  black and white picture  of the young child,  Jesus,   sleeping in a bed and  Mary,   the mother of Jesus,   lighting a lamp that is  hanging from the ceiling  in that room.   You can see Joseph  in another room  sitting at a table and working on something. On the back side of this 3" x 5"  paper is this beautiful prayer.  There is no indication of who wrote it  or where it came from.   I used this prayer as a table blessing many times  with my children and guests.   I even put it on my website not knowing it's origin because I thought other people would find it meaningful and use it.  The original prayer ending finished with:

"O Family Of Jesus,  watch over our family"

I have since then found the origin of this prayer.  It can be found with other wonderful prayers at:
