PRAYERS FOR THE WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES

VATICAN CITY, 14 JAN 2009 (VIS) - At the end of this morning's general audience, the Pope addressed a special greeting to pilgrims from Lisieux, France, who have come to Rome with the reliquary of Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, who were beatified on 19 October 2008.

  He also invited newly-married couples to join his own prayers "to implore abundance of divine grace upon the Sixth World Meeting of Families, which is currently taking place in Mexico City.

  "May this important ecclesial event", he added, "be a further expression of the beauty and importance of the family, infusing everyone with new energy to support this irreplaceable and fundamental cell of society and of the Church".
