Invite them to the table of your eternal feast, these fathers who work hard to provide for the life that has been entrusted to them. Embrace them warmly in the intimacy of your love, these fathers who lift up with strength those who are helpless and dependent. Bless them today with all good things: with health, with laughter, with joy and with love, with pride in their children and with the support of many friends. May all fathers who have protected and guided the life of others be themselves held securely one day in your strong embrace, there, for all eternity, to rejoice with their families and friends.
