That nations, hearts, and homes may learn
that love does not so much mean to give oneself to another
as for both lovers to give themselves
to that Passionless Passion, Which is God.
-Most. Rev. Fulton Sheen

O Jesus, I humbly implore you to grant your special graces to our family. May our home be a shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. I beg you, Jesus, to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead.
O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus, and our mother, pray to Jesus for our family, for all the families of the world, to guard the cradles of the newborn, the schools of the young and their vocations.
Blessed Saint Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by your prayers in all the necessities of life. Ask of Jesus that special grace which he granted to you, to watch over our home at the bed of the sick and dying, so that with Mary and with you, heaven may find our family unbroken in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Amen.
-from the "Hill of Happiness" prayer booklet
of St. Lawrence Seminary

Lord Jesus, we thank you for the joy of David and Frances. Through all the years of their life you have watched over them to bring them together in holy Christian marriage. Now Lord, bless them, for they are united in love of you and of each other. Redeemed by your Precious Blood and strengthened by your grace, may they live in kindness and fidelity, in unfailing trust and love so that their whole life may be pleasing to you.

Mary, who with Joseph made a happy home at Nazareth for Jesus, take these dear friends into your motherly care. You who showed concern for a newly married couple at Cana, help and guide David and Frances. May their union on earth lead to that eternal union in which all the blessed will be joined together, praising Jesus, the Lord.

Amen.
