Pope: Christian families are missionary families, who guard the faith by sharing their witness
Pope Francis told families to "keep the faith", not by being "defensive", but by being warn and open to others. He also called on them to recite the Lord's Prayer and Rosary as a family. Joy in the family is guaranteed by the "Lord [who] is near", who "hears the cry of the lowly and [. . .] frees them from evil." At the end of his address, the Holy Father left the crowd with a question, "which you will take home with you", i.e. "How is joy in your family? In your house?" He also prayed before the icon of the Presentation at the Temple, which was followed by the Angelus. Philadelphia will be the next venue for the International Meeting of Families, in September 2015.
