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.
