Holy Trinity Catholic Church at 901 North Holmes Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46222 US - Bits & Pieces

Gracious and loving God, let your Spirit be with us today.  Hear our prayers, and increase in us the will to follow your Son Jesus.  Help us to draw on the resources of our faith as we use the opportunities of our democracy to shape a society more respectful of the life, dignity, and rights of the human person, especially the poor and vulnerable.  We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.  Amen.

"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

- Mt. 22:36-40

"Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction" (Romans 12:12). Umm, sounds a lot like the wedding vow, "for better or for worse." Some wisdom is ancient and timeless. Would you count today as a "better," "worse," or just OK day for your marriage? Recommit regardless. For daily marriage tips visit: www.ForYourMarriage.org.
