第十屆世界家庭大會官方祈禱文

《家庭之愛：聖召與成聖之路》禱詞

(台灣地區主教團 恭譯)

天上的慈父，我們來到祢台前讚美祢，

並感謝祢賜予我們家庭這一份最偉大的禮物。

我們為所有藉由婚姻聖事而被聖化的家庭向祢祈禱。

願他們每天都能重新領悟到所領受的恩寵，

以及家庭就是小型教會；

願他們懂得如何為祢的臨在作見證，

並如同基督愛教會一樣地活出愛。

我們為所有面臨困難和受苦的家庭祈禱，

尤其是為那些因患病而受煎熬的家庭祈禱!

也許他們的苦楚，只有祢知道；

祈求祢支持他們，使他們察覺到

祢召叫他們所走的聖德之路，

好使他們能體驗到祢無限的慈悲，

並找到在愛中成長的新途徑。

我們為兒童和年輕人向祢祈禱：

願他們能與祢相遇，

並歡悅地回應祢為他們早已想好的聖召；

我們為父母和祖父母們祈禱，願他們察覺到

他們是天主父職和母職的標記，

因為祢將孩子們身心的照顧託付給他們，

為使家庭能將經驗到的兄弟情誼與在世人分享。

上主，求祢使每一個家庭

都能在教會中活出他們成聖的獨特聖召，

與司鐸及不同身分的人，

為生命與和平服務，

成為福傳的使徒。

求祢降福世界家庭大會。阿們。

Family Love: Vocation and Path to Holiness

Heavenly Father, We come before You to praise You and to thank You for the great gift of the family. We pray to You for all families consecrated by the Sacrament of Matrimony.

May they rediscover each day the grace they have received, and as small domestic Churches, may they know how to witness to Your presence and to the love with which Christ loves the Church.

We pray to You for all families faced with difficulty and suffering caused by illness or circumstances of which only You know. Sustain them and make them aware of the path to holiness upon which You call them, so that they might experience Your infinite mercy and find new ways to grow in love.

We pray to You for children and young people: may they encounter You and respond joyfully to the vocation You have in mind for them; We pray for parents and grandparents: may they be aware that they are signs of the fatherhood and motherhood of God in caring for the children who, in body and spirit, You entrust to them; and for the experience of fraternity that the family can give to the world.

Lord, grant that each family might live their specific vocation to holiness in the Church as a call to become missionary disciples, in the service of life and peace, in communion with our priests, religious, and all vocations in the Church. Bless the World Meeting of Families.

Amen.
