Day 1: Retreat for the Feast of Sts Joachim and Anne
Wisdom on Love & Marriage:
Love is never something ready-made, something merely ‘given' to man and woman, it is always at the same time a ‘task' which they are set. Love should be seen as something which in a sense never ‘is' but is always only ‘becoming', and what it becomes depends upon the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment.
- Pope John Paul II, Love and Responsibility
Prayer: Remember Us Today
Father, all-powerful and eternal God, we give you thanks and bless your holy name. You created mankind as man and woman and blessed their union, making them a help and support for each other. Remember us today. Look kindly on us and grant that our love be completely unselfish, a gift like that of Christ to his Church. May we live many years together in joy and peace, and may we always give you heartfelt praise through your Son and in the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
