Prayer for Marriage  

Blessed Pope John Paul II during his pontificate composed the following prayer with the desire that all married couples pray it together.  Our pastor asks that couples pray it together every day.  

Prayer for 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 become living signs of your love.  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
