World Marriage Day Celebration Prayer for our Marriage
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your tremendous gift of the
Sacrament of Marriage. Enable us to grow in our intimacy with You
and with each other. Teach us the beauty of forgiveness so we may
become more and more one in heart, mind and body. Strengthen our
communication with each other, and help us to be examples of
commitment, love and service to our families and children. Make us
a sign of the unity which Jesus prays for at the Last Supper. We
open ourselves to the guidance of your Holy Spirit, who empowers us
to love in Jesus' name and walk in His footsteps. Amen
