Michaelmas 2010Prayer for Families -- Pope John Paul II
Lord God, from you every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.
Father, you are Love and Life, through your Son, Jesus Christ, “born of woman”, and through the Holy Spirit, fountain of divine charity,
Grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true sanctuary of life and love.
Grant that your grace may guide the thoughts and actions of husbands and wives for the good of their families and of all the families in the world.
Grant that the young generations may find in the family solid support for their human dignity and for their growth in truth and love.
Grant that love, strengthened by the grace of the sacrament of marriage, may prove mightier than all the weakness and trials through which our families sometimes pass.
Grant that, through the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth, the Church may fruitfully carry out her worldwide mission in the family and through the family.
Through Christ our Lord, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life for ever and ever. Amen.
— Pope John Paul II,
Prayer for the Synod on the Family, August 15, 1980
