Greetings Prayer Warriors,
I remember when I got married decades ago. It was necessary to book the church well in
advance to get your desired date. Today,
there is no wait because church weddings are now the exception not the
rule. Christ literally has been kicked
to the curb. Aren’t couples forgetting
something?
Consider the
following, which I recently read:
The most profound thing about a Christian sacramental
marriage is the couple’s knowledge that: “We are a living image of the love
between Christ and the Church.”
That is a love that
is lifelong, self-giving, faithful, steadfast and sacrificial. It’s beautiful love, and a holy ideal. Consider
the societal impact if everyone loved his /her spouse in this way. What Light it would cast into the world!
I will betroth you to me forever: I
will betroth you to me with justice and with judgment, with
loyalty and with compassion; I will betroth you to me with fidelity, and you shall know the LORD. Hosea 2: 21-22
But we are weak,
which is exactly the reason we need
Him! Thus, we persevere in prayer for
all marriages, that they may be strengthened, uplifted, and built on Christ.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Imitate steadfastness. Pass it on!
