Sunday, February 9th is World Marriage Day, an opportunity to focus on building a culture of life and love that begins with supporting and promoting marriage and the family. National Marriage Week is celebrated from February 7-14. This year’s theme is "Stories from the Domestic Church."

Every family is called to be a place of prayer, service, and love—a “little Church of the home.” Families naturally do this in their day-to-day lives: “The spirituality of family love is made up of thousands of small but real gestures” (, , no. 315). They do this by strengthening the bonds of love among their members, and by asking the Lord’s presence into their homes. Check out www.foryourmarriage.org for more tips, prayers and blogs that promote healthy Catholic marriages. #MarriageWeek

Almighty and eternal God, You blessed the union of married couples “ Marriage is something so that they might reflect the union of Christ so beautiful and so with his Church: look with kindness on wonderful that we them. Renew their marriage covenant, increase your love in them, have to look after it, because it is forever.” they may always rejoice in - Pope Francis, February 2014 the gift of your blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
