A Prayer for our Families

Father, grant to all families the presence of strong and

wise spouses who may be the source of a free and united

family.

 

Father grant that parents may have a home in which to

live in peace with their families.

Father grant that children may be a sign of trust and hope,

and that young people may have the courage to forge

life-long faithful commitments.

 

Father grant to all that they may be able to earn bread

with their hands, that they may enjoy serenity of spirit

and that they may keep aflame the torch of faith even in

periods of darkness.

 

Father grant that we may all see flourish a Church that is

ever more faithful and credible. A just and human city,

a world that loves truth, justice and mercy. AMEN.

(Taken from the Message at the end of the recent Synod on the Family)
