daughters in the family of the Church. May your
grace and love help our families in every part of the
world be united to one another in fidelity to the
Gospel. May the example of the Holy Family, with
the aid of your Holy Spirit, guide all families,
especially those most troubled, to be homes of
communion and prayer and to always seek your
truth and live in your love. Through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
