The Lord's prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Doxology
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Antiphon
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they will be created. And you will renew the face of the Earth.
Reading
Tell the rich in the present age not to be proud and not to rely on so uncertain a thing as wealth, but rather on God, who richly provides us with al things for our enjoyment. Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, ready to share, thus accumulating as treasure a good foundation for the future, so as to win the life that is t r u e life.
1( Timothy 6:18-19)
Meditation
Honour and respect one another. Do good to each other and speak highly of one another both in private and in public. Living in a fallen world is challenging enough. Be the one good thing in which your spouse can always depend. "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."
- Romans 12:19 "So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."
- Galatians 6:10

Prayer for the Marriage renewal
Father in Heaven, You called Louis and Zélie Martin to holiness through their married life. You gave them as Mother and Father to St. Therese of Lisieux. Through their intercession, we ask you to bless the married couples of our diocese and those who are preparing for marriage. Bless our children and our grandchildren. Guide us by your Holy Spirit to bear witness in our lives to the beauty of the Sacrament of Marriage. Guide us as citizens to make the kind of decisions that will support family life, protect marriage and respect the dignity of children. We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord.Amen.
