Christian marriage is the source of vocations. We ask you
to bless all those considering a call to married life to do so prayerfully and
thoughtfully. We also ask you to bless all marriages and spouses with love for
You and each other.
Dear God, always keep our hearts and minds open to the gift
of vocation. Inspire us to respond generously to your call as the Blessed Mother
responded to her call, and help us to trust in your divine providence as she
did. We ask this in the name of Christ the Lord. Amen.
