National Family and Life Week

Sunday, 10 May to Sunday, 17 May 2026

The theme for this year, “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20), offers a profound reminder to the family – the domestic church – that Christ accompanies us in every moment of life—in our joys, in our struggles, across generations, and through all of life’s experiences.

National Family and Life Week 2026 invites families and communities across Canada to reflect on this enduring promise and to celebrate the gift of family life.

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 Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.

 

Dieu de bonté et de miséricorde,
nous plaçons notre confiance en toi,
sûrs de ta présence constante
et de ton amour bienveillant.
Dans ta grande bonté, tu nous as donné la vie
et la joie de vivre en relation les uns avec les autres. Guide nos familles : qu’à toutes les étapes de la vie, nous recherchions ta force et ton réconfort. Dans la trame quotidienne de notre vie familiale, que ton Esprit nous guide et nous inspire.

Conscients de l’amour constant que tu nous portes, puissions-nous faire monter vers toi notre louange et nos remerciements. Par Jésus-Christ, ton Fils, notre Seigneur,
qui vit et règne avec toi dans l’unité du Saint-Esprit,
Dieu, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
