From May 10 to May 17, the Canadian Bishops invite the faithful across Canada to promote and prayer for family and life as we recognize the National Family and Life Week 2026 (#NFLW2026)
This year’s theme, “I am with you always” (cf. Matthew 28:20), which reminds the domestic church that Christ remains with us in our joys, struggles, across generations, and in all of life's experiences.
Let us pray…
Good and gracious God,
In you we place our trust, mindful of your constant presence
and loving care.
Through your goodness we have received life and the joy of living
in relationship with one another.
Guide our families during all stages of life
to seek your strength and comfort.
As we navigate the daily tasks of family life,
may we call on your Spirit to lead and inspire us.
Knowing the constant love you have for us,
may we offer praise and thanks to you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spriit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
