Pope Francis will celebrate the final Mass of the WMOF on this Sunday at 3.00pm in the Phoenix Park. This Mass will

be transmitted live on television.

Pope Francis in his exhortation about m arriage and the family says: Against the backdrop of love so central to the

Christian experience of marriage and the family, another virtue stands out, one often overlooked in our world of frenetic and

superficial relationships. It is tenderness. (paragraph 28). The welfare of the family is decisive for the future of the world and

that of the Church. (paragraph 31)

Prayer for the World Meeting of Families God our Father, we are brothers and sisters in Jesus your Son,

one family, in the spirit of your love. Bless us with the joy of

love. Make us patient and kind, gentle and generous, welcoming

to those in need. Help us to live your forgiveness and peace.

Protect all families with your loving care, especially those for

whom we now pray. (Pause in silence to remember family

members). Increase our faith, strengthen our hope, keep us

safe in your love. Make us always grateful for the gift of life that

we share. This we ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Joy For All the Earth

(official hymn for the World Meeting of Families)

Love is patient, and love is kind.

Love is not resentful; it is not rude.

Love is not arrogant, nor boastful, nor jealous,

but love rejoices, rejoices in the truth

Refrain

The joy of love, a joy for all God’s family,

The joy of love transcending time and space.

Our Love for each other mirrors God the Father’s love.

The joy of love: a joy for all the earth.

Here in God's family all find their home.

All can find salvation troubled souls find peace.

Here is found tenderness, compassion and justice

Here God reaches down to us and touches us with grace.

Refrain
