Glory and praise to you Almighty God and Father, for it is from you that every family in heaven and on earth is named. Bless Stan and Carmen’s marriage and awaken in them a deeper appreciation for this Sacrament of your love. Enkindle in them anew the freshness of their first love that their lifelong covenant may never grow cold. Grant that through the bonds of holy matrimony they may work out their salvation day by day. May they grow in forgiveness, patience, perseverance, compassion and selflessness. May they confirm their vows of fidelity and heartfelt love by the way they treat one another each day. By your example, may they be slow to anger and rich in loving kindness and faithfulness. For you, O Lord, love them in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, whether they be rich or poor. May they return to you that endearing and enduring gift through a lifetime of courageous self-emptying love. By your grace showered upon this most precious relationship, may they learn to love without condition and gain the humility needed to receive unconditional love. In a time when so many counterfeits to authentic marital love surround them, may they recall the true inner meaning of their exclusive loving embrace. Grant that they may imitate the beauty of that sacrificial love that exists between Christ and his beloved bride, the Church, and so consecrate them in that perfect love that abides in the heart of your Trinitarian mystery. May they rejoice both in their affectionate sentiments, and also in each loving sacrifice. Bless theirr desires making them pure and chaste, that they may always wish to make a complete self-gift to one another of their hearts, minds and bodies. May they cooperate with your life giving designs for their marriage and always be open to any new life that you choose to author. By your presence at the center of their unified lives, may they be a convincing sign to the world of your faithful love lived out in the indissoluble bond of true sacramental marriage. Amen
Please pray the Rosary as often as possible.
God Bless.
Our Lord Jesus loves and protects us…if we only ask him to.
