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 each family on earth may
become for each successive generation a true shrine 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 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 weaknesses and trials through
which our families sometimes pass.
Through the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that 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

The Pope's prayer for families
