We are not here by chance.
God put us here for a purpose,
and our lives are never fulfilled and complete
until His purpose becomes the foundations
and center of our lives.
Lord, you are life and love
grant that our family may become
for each successive generation
a true shrine of life and love.
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, may prove mightier
than all the weaknesses and trials
through which our family sometimes pass.
Grant our family may fruitfully
carry our mission.
Lord, we ask this of you,
who is life, truth, and love. Amen.
