Day 3: Retreat for the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne
Wisdom on Love & Marriage:
Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offence, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.
- 1 Cor 13:48
Prayer: For Spousal Unity
O God, by your power you have made everything out of nothing.
In the beginning you created the universe and made us in your own likeness.
You gave man the constant help of woman so that man and woman should no longer be two, but one flesh, and you teach us that what you have united may never be divided.
Lord Jesus, look with love upon us in our life together as husband and wife.
We ask your blessing to live with each other in peace and harmony.
May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths.
Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the wellbeing of one another ahead of self.
May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year.
Bring us both ever closer to you through our love for each other.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
