Family Life Eucharist

Side 1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Amen.
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,000
In the grace and peace of God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Also with you.
5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Dear people of God, it gives me great joy to bring to you the paternal blessing and
6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
and the affectionate greetings of our Holy Father.
7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
The interest of our Holy Father in family life
8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
is demonstrated by the fact that His Holiness
9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000
has had a special prayer book prepared for the family.
10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:03,000
He counts a great deal on Christian family life to carry forward the fruits of the Holy Year.
11
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And today we have the joy of celebrating this liturgy for the family in the context of the liturgy of the Holy Family.
12
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:27,960
The readings and the liturgy of the Eucharist will give us immense benefit.
13
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:37,880
In order to profit from these, let us now prepare ourselves to celebrate the holy sacrifice
14
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,880
by recalling to mind our sins and being truly sorry for them.
15
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,800
Primera lectura.
16
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Domingo en octava de navidad o fiesta de la Sagrada Familia.
17
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Lectura del libro del Eclesiastico.
18
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,120
Dios hace al padre más respetable que los hijos,
19
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,280
y afirma la autoridad de la madre sobre la prole.
20
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,240
El que honra a su padre expia sus pecados.
21
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,880
El que respeta a su madre acumula tesoros.
22
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,160
El que honra a su padre se alegrará de sus hijos,
23
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,880
y cuando reza será escuchado.
24
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,680
El que respeta a su padre tendrá larga vida.
25
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,960
El que honra a su madre, el Señor le escuchará.
26
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,400
Hijo mío, es constante honrar a tu padre.
27
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,320
No lo abandones mientras vivas.
28
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,960
Aunque escuche, ten indulgencia.
29
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,680
No lo obochornes mientras vivas.
30
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,960
The alms of the Father will not be forgotten.
31
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,160
It will be taken into account to pay your sins.
32
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,280
The day of danger will remember you
33
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,840
and will dispel your sins like heat, like scorching fire.
34
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
This is the word of God.
35
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Lecture de la première épître de Saint Jean.
36
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:34,400
Bien aimés, aimons-nous les uns les autres, car l'amour vient de Dieu, et quiconque aime
37
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,960
est né de Dieu et connaît Dieu.
38
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Qui n'aime pas n'a pas connu le Dieu, car Dieu est l'amour.
39
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:50,520
L'amour de Dieu pour nous s'est manifesté en ce que Dieu a envoyé son Fils unique dans le monde,
40
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520
afin que nous vivions par lui.
41
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520
L'amour consiste en ceci.
42
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Ce n'est pas nous qui avons aimé Dieu.
43
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Non, c'est lui qui nous a aimés et a envoyé son Fils comme pépiation pour nos péchés.
44
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:14,520
Bien aimé. Si Dieu nous a tant aimés, nous devons à notre tour nous aimer les uns les
45
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:21,520
autres. Personne n'a jamais contemplé Dieu. Si nous nous aimons les uns les autres, Dieu
46
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:28,520
demeure en nous et son amour est parfait en nous.
47
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:35,520
The Lord be with you.
48
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,520
The Lord be with you.
49
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,520
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
50
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Glory to you, O Lord.
51
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:55,520
The parents of Jesus used to go every year to Jerusalem
52
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320
for the feast of the Passover,
53
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,320
and when he was 12, they went up for the celebration,
54
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,320
as was their custom.
55
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,320
As they were returning at the end of the feast,
56
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,320
the child Jesus remained behind unknown to his parents.
57
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Thinking he was in the party,
58
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,320
they continued their journey for a day,
59
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,320
looking for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
60
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
61
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,320
On the third day they came upon him in a temple,
62
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
sitting in the midst of the teachers,
63
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,320
listening to them and asking them questions.
64
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,320
All who heard him were amazed at his intelligence and his answers.
65
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,320
When his parents saw him, they were astonished,
66
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,820
And his mother said to him,
67
00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:56,820
Son, why have you done this to us?
68
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:58,820
You see that your father and I
69
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:02,320
have been searching for you in sorrow.
70
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,320
He said to them,
71
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,820
Why did you search for me?
72
00:06:06,820 --> 00:06:10,820
Did you not know I had to be in my father's house?
73
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:14,820
But they did not grasp what he said to them.
74
00:06:14,820 --> 00:06:19,820
He went down with them then and came to Nazareth,
75
00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:22,820
and was obedient to them.
76
00:06:22,820 --> 00:06:27,820
His mother, meanwhile, kept all these things in memory.
77
00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:31,820
Jesus, for his part, progressed steadily in wisdom
78
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:36,820
and age and grace before God and men.
79
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:40,820
This is the gospel of the Lord.
80
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:46,820
Your Eminence Cardinal Knox,
81
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:51,820
My brothers and sisters in the Lord,
82
00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:57,820
200 years ago in the city of Philadelphia,
83
00:06:57,820 --> 00:07:01,820
a group of men differing in background,
84
00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:06,820
in outlook, and in experience came together
85
00:07:06,820 --> 00:07:11,820
despite their diversity to forge a unity,
86
00:07:11,820 --> 00:07:16,820
a unity to establish one new nation under God.
87
00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:24,100
Tonight in this stadium, we may manifest
88
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:28,100
a far greater diversity of background,
89
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:33,040
outlook, and experience, but there is here tonight
90
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,040
an even deeper spirit of unity and love.
91
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,040
Gathered here this evening are people of every race,
92
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:46,780
of every color, of more nationalities
93
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:50,380
than there were nations when the Declaration
94
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:53,820
of Independence was signed.
95
00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:58,820
Yet despite our diversity, we too forge a unity,
96
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,400
a deep and abiding unity of faith.
97
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:14,040
We are one because we all belong to the one human family.
98
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:24,040
We are one because by baptism we are all children of one God, our Heavenly Father.
99
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:30,040
We are one because we are all brothers and sisters of Christ,
100
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Christ, and we share the one bread of life and the one cup of salvation.
101
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:50,360
Tonight at this Eucharistic Congress, we come to celebrate in this liturgy our unity in
102
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,520
in the human family, in God's family,
103
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:58,300
and in the individual families we call our own.
104
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,400
We gather for a celebration of hope,
105
00:09:04,260 --> 00:09:08,080
of thanksgiving, and of intercession.
106
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,680
A celebration of hope for our human family,
107
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,080
a celebration of thanksgiving
108
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,820
and intercession for family life.
109
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:28,520
In the liturgy of the Word of God, we were reminded that love is of God,
110
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:36,920
and that if God has loved us so, we must have the same love for one another.
111
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:47,000
These inspired words serve to place the cornerstone of Christian family life in its proper place.
112
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,300
in the love of God for each of us,
113
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:52,880
and in our love for each other.
114
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,720
However, as we well know,
115
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,460
love does not necessarily mean an absence of problems.
116
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Love is not incompatible with sorrow,
117
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,100
or mystery, or uncertainty.
118
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,960
What love does is give us the strength
119
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:22,080
strength to endure the difficulty and find peace in the knowledge that for those who
120
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,880
love God, all things work together unto good.
121
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,960
Let us consider the mystery in the beautiful gospel story of the finding of the Christ
122
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,360
child which has just been proclaimed to us.
123
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,240
though the story may be, Luke, the inspired author,
124
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,740
considers it so important that he places it
125
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:53,520
at a pivotal position in his gospel.
126
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:59,840
The finding in the temple is a hinge that does double duty.
127
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,720
It both concludes the infancy narrative
128
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,000
and points forward to the Lord's public ministry and death.
129
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,800
all the themes surrounding Christ's birth,
130
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,800
and all the truths inculcated in the body of the gospel,
131
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:22,680
everything Luke has to say about Jesus
132
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:27,680
is summed up in this deceptively unassuming story.
133
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,600
First, Luke uses this story to proclaim
134
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,060
that Jesus is the Son of God
135
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:42,220
and was son from the very beginning.
136
00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:45,260
Even the 12-year-old Jesus, when he
137
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:49,660
hears his mother speak of your father and I,
138
00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:54,780
replies by referring to his true father, in whose house
139
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:58,220
he must even now be at work.
140
00:11:58,220 --> 00:12:03,680
As Jesus utters the first words recorded of him in scripture,
141
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,840
He speaks of a close, personal relationship
142
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,920
between the God who is his father
143
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:18,040
and himself, the son, who knows the Father's will and does it.
144
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,680
Luke's second point of emphasis is
145
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:27,160
that this sonship of Christ involves radical obedience
146
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,880
to the Father, even to the point of death.
147
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,200
It is not by accident that the first words of Jesus
148
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,800
speak of the divine must in his life.
149
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,560
Do you not know that I must be in my father's house?
150
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:51,300
Jesus is not engaging in boyish pranks with his parents.
151
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:54,040
He has remained in the temple because he
152
00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:01,180
belongs there, in his father's house, doing his father's work.
153
00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:05,100
I must be in my Father's house.
154
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:10,740
Jesus the Son does not simply speak about sonship.
155
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:14,060
He proves that sonship by action,
156
00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:21,700
by obedience to his Father's word, a word summed up as must.
157
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:26,080
This brings us to our third point.
158
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,820
The mysterious necessity of this divine obedience
159
00:13:30,820 --> 00:13:38,020
engulfs not only Jesus, but also all those around him.
160
00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:42,700
His public ministry, and especially his cross,
161
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:47,300
will occasion sorrow, misunderstanding,
162
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:51,180
and fierce division in Israel.
163
00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:56,380
And the pain which enwraps the Father's saving will
164
00:13:56,380 --> 00:14:01,340
would touch the mother of the Messiah in a special way.
165
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:07,740
In today's gospel, the sword begins to pierce her heart.
166
00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:13,420
The cross already casts its shadow over Mary's life
167
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:17,220
in the form of a sword of division.
168
00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:21,600
She looks at her son and sees a stranger,
169
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,140
someone already separated from her by his obedience
170
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:31,140
to his father by a mysterious destiny she cannot fathom.
171
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,040
This in fact is the essence of Mary's cross.
172
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,660
She cannot understand.
173
00:14:40,660 --> 00:14:45,420
If only she had been granted some special vision
174
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:48,460
explaining everything beforehand.
175
00:14:48,460 --> 00:14:53,460
If only God had made clear how the way of the cross
176
00:14:53,460 --> 00:15:00,980
would lead to resurrection, then we might not have this anguished pride.
177
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:06,560
But Mary has received no detailed scenario.
178
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:15,400
Like every believer, she must walk by faith alone, not knowing where the unexpected path
179
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:21,700
is leading or why the road takes a sudden turn.
180
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:29,700
Because she was willing to hear God's word and keep it when there were no guarantees,
181
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:32,260
no easy answers.
182
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:40,040
Because she was willing to bow in obedience before God's must when she did not understand.
183
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:48,340
She is rightly addressed as mother of the church, as mother of God's family by the millions
184
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:57,520
who have placed their faith in her son and who follow in her footsteps.
185
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:06,520
We need so much the inspiration of the Holy Family in our world today.
186
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Unfortunately, some people are without hope and they predict the end of marriage and family
187
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,320
life.
188
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,880
Some find it hard to discover much for which to be thankful.
189
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Their vision is curtailed and they see only disintegration and despair.
190
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:38,480
Their eyes are fastened only on the problems of family life.
191
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:48,020
They cannot see the solutions offered by God, our Father's loving hand.
192
00:16:48,020 --> 00:16:58,020
The initiation of a new life is an act of courage and generosity on the part of parents,
193
00:16:58,020 --> 00:17:08,180
all the more so in our day when the child is often looked on as a burden or inconvenience.
194
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:18,000
In fact, in a society where anti-life attitudes are prominent and the prevailing legal policy
195
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
deprives the unborn child of any protection
196
00:17:23,740 --> 00:17:26,640
for his or her right to life.
197
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,640
Our families have a special mission to sustain
198
00:17:32,740 --> 00:17:37,740
and protect human life at every stage of its existence.
199
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:41,180
of its existence.
200
00:17:41,180 --> 00:17:58,640
In this regard, we recall the words of our Holy Father,
201
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,140
Pope Paul VI.
202
00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:03,140
He said,
203
00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:08,140
Our blessing is erected especially to you, the parents,
204
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,860
who are responsible for the new citizens
205
00:18:12,860 --> 00:18:17,860
of the earthly city, and whom we urge to defend
206
00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:23,780
and protect your children from the first moment
207
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:28,780
they exist alive and defenseless in the maternal womb.
208
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:37,940
womb. Because so often we hear of the problems, we sometimes fail to take note
209
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:45,900
of the strengths of family life. We forget that God, in his loving providence,
210
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:53,140
has given us Christian marriage, a great sacrament, and that Christian marriage is
211
00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:57,100
is a source of all the graces and strengths
212
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:02,100
needed for a holy and truly human family life.
213
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:06,640
The strength of family life
214
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,640
lies in the strength of relationships within the family.
215
00:19:12,940 --> 00:19:16,460
The relationship of husband and wife
216
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:18,460
with God and with each other.
217
00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:23,460
the relationship of parents and children in God's plan,
218
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:29,140
the relationship of the individual family
219
00:19:29,140 --> 00:19:34,140
to God's larger human family of which it is a part.
220
00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:40,660
When any of these relationships are weakened or destroyed,
221
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:46,380
the problems facing family life increase.
222
00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:49,940
for ultimately the problems of family life
223
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:54,940
are really problems of weakened or destroyed relationships.
224
00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:00,020
The task of the Christian, our task,
225
00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:03,500
is to strengthen those relationships
226
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:06,480
not only in our own families,
227
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,480
but also in God's one human family throughout the world.
228
00:20:12,460 --> 00:20:16,260
We do not expect this task to be easy,
229
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:20,420
But with God's help, given as we faithfully receive
230
00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:24,060
the Eucharist, it will be accomplished.
231
00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:27,800
In fact, it is in being accomplished tonight
232
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,940
in the stadium, we have living examples
233
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:36,940
of husbands and wives, parents and children,
234
00:20:36,940 --> 00:20:41,620
whole families who have built strong, prayerful, loving
235
00:20:41,620 --> 00:20:43,740
relationships.
236
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:48,340
There are husbands and wives here tonight
237
00:20:48,340 --> 00:20:50,860
who, inspired by the Holy Spirit,
238
00:20:50,860 --> 00:20:55,860
have reached out to each other in the sacrament of matrimony
239
00:20:55,860 --> 00:21:01,900
in a renewed common search to make their love grow deeper.
240
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:03,980
They have helped each other.
241
00:21:03,980 --> 00:21:06,380
And in many cases, they have been
242
00:21:06,380 --> 00:21:11,060
encouraged by such rapidly expanding movements
243
00:21:11,060 --> 00:21:14,400
As marriage encounter, teams of our lady.
244
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,400
Not only marriage encounter,
245
00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:37,420
teams of our lady, CFM, MFC, just to mention a few.
246
00:21:37,420 --> 00:21:39,920
just to mention a few.
247
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,060
I ask those husbands and wives
248
00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:48,360
whose own relationship has been strengthened
249
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:51,100
by the help they have received
250
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:54,440
to offer in a Eucharistic spirit
251
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,000
their own assistance to other couples.
252
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,580
In the name of the Lord.
253
00:21:59,580 --> 00:22:16,780
In the name of the Lord, share your love with those preparing for marriage and those already
254
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:21,580
married whose relationships are not strong.
255
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:25,820
There are parents and children here tonight
256
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:29,580
who have fashioned strong relationships.
257
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:34,020
Parents who with God's grace, through love and sacrifice,
258
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:37,720
have affirmed and assisted their children's growth
259
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,100
towards the realization of their full potentiality,
260
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:45,140
physically, emotionally, psychologically,
261
00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:48,140
intellectually, and spiritually.
262
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:52,440
children, both grown and still growing,
263
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,520
who in God's providence have learned from their parents
264
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,060
what it means to love and have responded
265
00:23:00,060 --> 00:23:03,560
with their own gift of love.
266
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,000
I ask those parents and children,
267
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,960
nourished by their Eucharistic Lord,
268
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,960
to share that love with those who do not know the love
269
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,200
that families can engender.
270
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,100
Share your love with children in need
271
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:26,840
of foster homes or adoption.
272
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,880
Share your love with girls and women
273
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,840
facing problems with pregnancy
274
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,840
and possibly tempted by the evil of abortion.
275
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760
Share your love with the elderly
276
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,760
who often exist beyond the warmth of a family circle.
277
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:54,240
Share your love with other parents and children
278
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600
who need your family's friendship
279
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,140
to help them learn the joy and peace
280
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:06,140
in the harmony of relationships with God and each other.
281
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:10,720
There are families here tonight
282
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,720
who have realized their responsibilities in social justice
283
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:21,300
to the larger human family of which we all are a part.
284
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,860
Your very presence at this Eucharistic Congress
285
00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:30,880
is a demonstration of your living faith
286
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,880
and your concern about the hungers of the human family.
287
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:44,040
I ask you as families and as individuals to continue showing your social concern
288
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,880
for your brothers and sisters in the human family and for the world in which
289
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:58,280
we live. Share your love by responding to what you have seen and learned at this
290
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:05,720
Eucharistic Congress when you return to your own homes. Share your love by
291
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:12,560
working for just and peaceful solutions to the problems of hunger, disease,
292
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:18,960
poverty, housing, education, and employment in your own communities, in
293
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,280
in our country and in the world.
294
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Tonight, in the Eucharist, we receive a sign
295
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,120
of Christ's love for us.
296
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:36,240
That Eucharist, as every Eucharist,
297
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,320
is meant to strengthen our relationship with God.
298
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,480
But it is meant for more than that as well.
299
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,720
It is meant to strengthen our relationship
300
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,640
with each other.
301
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,800
Tonight, especially, the Eucharist
302
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,840
will be a source of nourishment to strengthen
303
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,200
the relationships of husbands and wives, of parents
304
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,040
and children, of families and society.
305
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,880
And as those relationships are strengthened,
306
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:18,120
they in turn must become sources of strength for others.
307
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:26,720
They must become means by which the love in which they are grounded is passed on and shared
308
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:34,460
so as to enable others in individual families and in the whole human family to learn what
309
00:26:34,460 --> 00:26:40,540
it means to be part of the family of God.
310
00:26:40,540 --> 00:26:46,400
For at the heart of the family is love.
311
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:54,060
institutions may be able to develop this love, but it is in the family that it is
312
00:26:54,060 --> 00:27:01,720
learned. That is why the Church has made the family, which is a community of love
313
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:10,680
in the service of life, the cornerstone of her whole social doctrine. It is this
314
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:18,400
love of family which preserved the values of our American tradition over
315
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:26,400
200 years of our history. It is this love of family on which the grace of
316
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:34,360
moral strength is built for the foundation of a truly Christian life. It
317
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:40,240
It is this love of family, challenging and fulfilling,
318
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:46,040
which we celebrate this evening with gratitude and joy.
319
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,000
This is the end of side one.
320
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,800
To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.

Side 2

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,180
Queridos amigos en Cristo, en vista de que nuestro Padre Celestial en su divina providencia
2
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:23,680
bendijo a nuestro querido país con la venida de mucha gente de origen hispano, será muy
3
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:31,840
apropiado el concluir esta homilia con unas palabras en español.
4
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,120
Las multitudes que arribaron a nuestra tierra desde España y
5
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,200
Latinoamerica trajeron consigo una herencia rica de su fe
6
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,960
católica.
7
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,320
De la misma manera trajeron consigo un sentido profundo
8
00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:00,320
de la vida familiar que lo perciben con claridad y luchan valientemente porque tenga su lugar
9
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,920
preponderante en la sociedad. En nuestra misa de intercesión por una vida familiar agradecimos
10
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:22,320
a Dios por las bendiciones especiales que hemos recibido gracias a nuestros padres
11
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:27,320
vecinos de origen hispano.
12
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:33,760
Les pido como familias y como personas individuales que
13
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:39,680
continúen preocupándose por nuestros hermanos de la familia
14
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,600
humana y por el mundo en que vivimos.
15
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:52,720
Cuando vuelvan a sus casas, compartan generosamente su amor
16
00:01:52,720 --> 00:02:00,000
en respuesta a lo que han vivido y aprendido en este congreso
17
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
europeístico.
18
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,080
Compartan su amor trabajando por soluciones justas y pacíficas
19
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,160
a los problemas del hombre, la enfermedad, la pobreza,
20
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,640
las condiciones de la vivienda, la carencia de educación,
21
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:34,200
y el desempleo, tanto en sus comunidades como en otras patrias del país y en el mundo entero.
22
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:44,240
Esta noche en la Eucaristia recibimos un signo del amor de Cristo por nosotros.
23
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:54,240
y Eucaristía como todas y cada una de ellas debe robustecer nuestras relaciones con Dios.
24
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Pero no se puede quedar en eso.
25
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Debe también robustecer las relaciones de los unos con los otros.
26
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Esta noche especialmente la Eucharistia será una fuente de energía que fortalecerá las
27
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:29,800
relaciones entre esposo y esposa, entre padres e hijos, entre las familias y la sociedad.
28
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Porque en la esencia de la familia está el amor, y es precisamente este amor familiar
29
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:51,600
quien ha preservado nuestra tradición de la civilización judío-cristiana a través
30
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,640
de los doscientos años de nuestra historia.
31
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:11,640
It is also in this family love that the grace of moral robustness is founded to develop a true Christian life.
32
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Precisamente es este amor familiar,
33
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,640
tan estimulante o prometedor,
34
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,640
el que celebramos esta noche,
35
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,640
rebosantes de gratitud y alegría.
36
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Que Dios, nuestro Padre Celestial,
37
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,640
nos bendiga a todos nosotros,
38
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,640
ahora y siempre.
39
00:04:38,640 --> 00:05:05,920
Dear friends, through the Paschal mystery we have been buried with Christ in baptism
40
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,720
so that we may rise with him to a new life.
41
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,960
Let us renew the promises we made in baptism
42
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,880
when we rejected Satan and his works
43
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,200
and promised to serve God faithfully,
44
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,360
and promised to serve God faithfully
45
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,280
in his holy Catholic Church.
46
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,720
Do you reject Satan?
47
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,480
I do.
48
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,760
and all his works, and all his empty promises?
49
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Do you reject sin so as to live in the freedom of God's children?
50
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:58,440
Do you reject the glamour of evil and refuse to be mastered by sin?
51
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,840
Do you reject Satan, father of sin and prince of darkness?
52
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:05,960
I do.
53
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,080
Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty,
54
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760
creator of heaven and earth?
55
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,640
I do.
56
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,440
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
57
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:24,160
who was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died,
58
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,160
and was buried, rose from the dead,
59
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,120
and is now seated at the right hand of the Father?
60
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,240
I do.
61
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,840
Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic
62
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:44,720
Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
63
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,440
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
64
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,320
I do.
65
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:57,600
God, the all-powerful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
66
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:04,720
has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit
67
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,720
and forgiven all our sins.
68
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,040
May he also keep us faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ
69
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,800
forever and ever.
70
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Brothers and sisters, the Lord has gathered us together at his Father's table
71
00:07:51,280 --> 00:08:00,860
and revealed his love in our midst. Ask him to dwell in our families and to
72
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:08,680
bring his love to perfection for he hears us when we pray.
73
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,800
The intercessions in the prayer of the faithful will be read by national and
74
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,760
and local representatives of various family life groups.
75
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,720
Father, be with us at our family table.
76
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,440
Open our hands to give food to the hungry
77
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,160
and drink to the thirsty.
78
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Do not let us rest while any man, woman, or child
79
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,960
starves in a world of plenty.
80
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,480
We pray to you, Lord.
81
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,600
Clothe us with mercy, kindness, and understanding,
82
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,720
with gentleness and patience.
83
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,960
so that in your name we may clothe the naked,
84
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,920
comfort the ill, and visit the imprisoned.
85
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,920
We pray to you, Lord.
86
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,400
Lord, we are praying.
87
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Let our homes be a place where me may welcome the stranger
88
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,920
and shelter the homeless.
89
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,460
Make us one in building a home in this world
90
00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:44,120
and in your kingdom.
91
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,880
We pray to you, Lord.
92
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,360
Lord, hear our prayer.
93
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Give us steady progress in wisdom, age, and grace.
94
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:06,080
Uncover for us the mystery of the obedience of Jesus.
95
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,680
Enlightened parents, teachers, and scientists,
96
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:16,640
artists and musicians, to reveal the riches of your creation,
97
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,720
we pray to you, Lord.
98
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,680
Lord, hear our prayer.
99
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Grant us the wisdom to appreciate the value of leisure
100
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,640
in our lives.
101
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,960
the creativity to further the coming of your kingdom.
102
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,680
Give us the joy which opens us to appreciate
103
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:47,820
the fullness of creation.
104
00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:50,520
We pray to you, oh Lord.
105
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Oh Lord, hear our prayer.
106
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Dwell in us, Lord, and heal any division
107
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,840
between husbands and wives, parents and children,
108
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160
relatives and neighbors.
109
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,880
Make us faithful in serving young and old
110
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,800
so that together in Christ we may love you
111
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,680
as you have loved us.
112
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,600
We pray to you, Lord.
113
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,560
Lord, hear our prayer.
114
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:32,860
Radiate the love of the Spirit in the Church.
115
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:38,980
Let this love, as it begins in the family, be the sign of your salvation in the world.
116
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:43,300
We pray to you, Lord.
117
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:55,620
Father, you have loved us and sent your Son as the offering for our sins.
118
00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:59,220
Teach us to love one another.
119
00:11:59,220 --> 00:12:07,500
Help us to share the knowledge of your love with all of your children, that we might have
120
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:14,940
love life through him who lives forever and ever.
121
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:25,620
The communion meditation will be given by Father Gabriel Calvo, the founder of
122
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:28,460
of the Marriage Encounter Movement.
123
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:38,800
Father's meditation points will stress the family
124
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,620
as the hope of the future.
125
00:12:41,620 --> 00:12:45,780
It will be read in English by Father James Young.
126
00:12:45,780 --> 00:13:01,780
Queridas familias de la iglesia del mundo entero, la familia humana está pasando por
127
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:12,540
muchos cambios en estos tiempos tan difíciles pero tan esperanzadores.
128
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:19,540
that threaten the family with temptations to self-destruction.
129
00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:28,540
However, we see signs, healthy signs of hope for the human family.
130
00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:37,540
Let us reflect on the way that these signs can be a living testimony
131
00:13:37,540 --> 00:13:41,540
that can multiply in our own lives,
132
00:13:41,540 --> 00:13:44,540
in our own homes,
133
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:49,540
in the neighborhoods of our cities and towns.
134
00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:55,540
Our hope is in the thousands of families
135
00:13:55,540 --> 00:14:00,540
that are discovering the wonderful inner energy
136
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:05,540
that God has sown in the heart of each home
137
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:08,540
according to their wonderful plans.
138
00:14:08,540 --> 00:14:11,540
That energy is to liberate
139
00:14:11,540 --> 00:14:16,540
a universal energy called love,
140
00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:24,540
whose seed is in the heart of every home on earth.
141
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:29,540
Our hope is in the thousands of families
142
00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:31,580
is that I met him on server
143
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:33,880
mothers and children without
144
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:44,080
the
145
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,200
test results of plants in your
146
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,300
house parent's and I'm on the
147
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,340
automation of the senate's
148
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:52,300
remaining as soon as I tell you
149
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,260
, may be the main reason you
150
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:56,440
can't stand on them, may be
151
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,580
the stain on hand, the mean
152
00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:22,100
The
153
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:34,500
The human family has undergone many changes in this industrialized and computerized age,
154
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:41,380
changes which have menaced the family with enticements toward self-destruction.
155
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:53,740
destruction. Nevertheless, we see healthy signs of hope for the human family. Let
156
00:15:53,740 --> 00:16:02,820
us reflect on how those signs may be a living witness which may be multiplied
157
00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:13,680
in our lives. Our hope is in the thousands of families, two parents
158
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:26,760
together, one parent alone, with a sense of family mission, who act as agents for
159
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:37,600
social change, who show concern for the poor, who are positive forces in society,
160
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:43,440
who bring the good news of Jesus to all.
161
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:52,480
Our hope is in the families who have heard the prophetic call of Christ to
162
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,900
the fidelity in married life,
163
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,080
and are assigned to provide security,
164
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,200
to overcome distrust,
165
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:07,520
to give an understanding of the loving faithfulness of God,
166
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,640
our Father.
167
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,940
Nuestra esperanza está en las familias
168
00:17:13,940 --> 00:17:17,760
que han oído el llamamiento profético de Cristo
169
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,820
a la fidelidad en la vida matrimonial,
170
00:17:20,820 --> 00:17:28,820
that are a sign to promote love, understanding, unity and justice.
171
00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:36,820
That are a sign to overcome mistrust and misunderstandings of this world.
172
00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:45,820
That are a sign to give a living understanding of the fidelity and loving plan of God our Lord
173
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:53,820
for all men, regardless of race, culture, color, or ideology.
174
00:17:57,820 --> 00:18:10,820
Our hope is in the family who accepts children as the expression of creatus and generous conjugal love and a gift from God.
175
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:18,820
Such hope regards abortion as a supreme dishonor to the creator.
176
00:18:18,820 --> 00:18:23,820
Our hope is in family unity and harmony,
177
00:18:23,820 --> 00:18:28,820
in which parents and children contribute to each other's growth,
178
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:32,820
so that because of alienation,
179
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:40,820
youth are not enticed by drugs, alcohol, or other forms of escapism.
180
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:50,820
Because of frustration or irresponsibility, parents are not led to separation and desertion.
181
00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:58,260
Our hope is in the families that accept their children as the expression of love for one another,
182
00:18:58,260 --> 00:19:03,060
which is creative and generous, and is a gift from God.
183
00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:09,620
Such hope judges abortion as a supreme dishonor to the Creator
184
00:19:09,620 --> 00:19:14,180
and a betrayal to the Lord of life and love.
185
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:18,660
Our hope is in the unity and family harmony
186
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:26,260
in which parents and children contribute together to mutual growth
187
00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:30,660
so that, due to lack of communication and understanding,
188
00:19:30,660 --> 00:19:39,060
children do not leave the house tempted by drugs, alcohol or other escape methods.
189
00:19:39,060 --> 00:19:45,060
So that parents, due to lack of communication and mutual understanding,
190
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:50,060
do not leave each other for separation or abandonment.
191
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:54,060
Our hope is in the marriages and families
192
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:59,060
united and open, trusting in the Lord
193
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:02,060
based on their sense of responsibility,
194
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:04,060
their spirit of sacrifice,
195
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:08,060
and their acceptance of the calling of God
196
00:20:08,060 --> 00:20:11,060
to the sacrament of marriage and family.
197
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:18,060
son signos para aquellos que se están preparando para casarse de la necesidad de una preparación
198
00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:27,060
profunda, de una comprensión honda y de un estímulo para vivir este sacramento del amor
199
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:34,060
y de la unidad en medio de la comunidad humana que no cree en el amor.
200
00:20:34,060 --> 00:20:43,060
Our hope is in mature married couples who, because of their sense of responsibility,
201
00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:52,060
their spirit of sacrifice, and their acceptance of God's call to the sacrament of matrimony,
202
00:20:52,060 --> 00:21:00,060
are signs to those preparing for marriage of the necessity of adequate preparation,
203
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:07,060
proper understanding, and deep motivation to live this sacrament.
204
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:34,660
And the families of the world are hungry for God,
205
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:36,660
hungry for love,
206
00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:38,860
hungry for justice,
207
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:41,160
hungry for freedom,
208
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,060
hungry for the Word of God.
209
00:21:45,060 --> 00:21:50,160
And we have the hope that soon, more and more,
210
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,960
and this is already a sign,
211
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,360
there will be families that are the hope of love,
212
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,960
that are the hope of unity,
213
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:05,460
May it be the hope of understanding, of freedom, of justice and of peace.
214
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:10,460
And soon there will be peace, and there will be love, and there will be justice,
215
00:22:10,460 --> 00:22:18,460
because there will be peace inside the houses when husband and wife, parents and children meet.
216
00:22:18,460 --> 00:22:23,960
This unity will begin to take place when our own families
217
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:29,960
Be one in Jesus, the only Savior, the bread of life.
218
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,960
Amen.
219
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,960
Hallelujah.
220
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,960
My dear people, Jesus says,
221
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,960
I come that you may have life and have it to the full.
222
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,960
The world and the families of the world
223
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,960
have a hunger for the fullness of life.
224
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,960
There is a hunger for love, for unity, and for understanding.
225
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:02,960
Through our celebration of this Eucharist, we come together as one Christian family,
226
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:14,960
asking that our families become the hope for love, for unity, and for understanding within the total human family.
227
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,240
this unity will begin to become a reality
228
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,240
when our own families are one in Jesus Christ,
229
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,640
the bread of life.
230
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,240
Amen.
231
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,240
Alleluia.
232
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:47,940
our fathers.
233
00:23:47,940 --> 00:24:08,940
Let us pray.
234
00:24:08,940 --> 00:24:15,880
We want to live as Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in peace with you and one another.
235
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,640
May this communion strengthen us to face the troubles of life.
236
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,400
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
237
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:24,900
Amen.
238
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,080
The Lord be with you.
239
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,560
And also with you.
240
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,520
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
241
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,880
Now and forever.
242
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,600
Our help is in the name of the Lord.
243
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,100
Amen.
244
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,360
Now and forever.
245
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:43,080
May almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son,
246
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,160
and the Holy Spirit.
247
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,900
Amen.
248
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:48,500
Our mass has ended.
249
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,940
Let us go in peace and love to serve the Lord.
250
00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:52,940
Thanks be to God.
251
00:24:52,940 --> 00:24:53,780
Amen.
