Pray for Marriages (Great Love)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Inspiration comes in many forms, but I have always loved the wisdom of the saints. Perhaps their insights into how to love, can be used as a guide to uplifting marriages.

Do small things with great love. 
-Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
St. Teresa of Avila

“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.”
St. Therese of Lisieux

And the most beautiful sentiment on how to respond to sudden adversity in one’s life:

“The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!” Job 1:21

Lord, give us first the desire to love more, then teach us how to love in each word, gesture, and action.  May we bring blessings into our marriages through our willingness to love.  May we always trust that you will give us every grace that we need to succeed.  Look with love upon those praying for marriages, so that more of them will shine with a brilliant light, magnifying Your love for all to see.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

A small act of love, can reverberate within one’s heart. Pass it on!
