 “Lord,

May your goodness and love be present amongst us today.

Come bless our parish with unity, hope and vision.
Lord, we pray for unity.
Build in us all a deep respect for one another so that your church may be one.
Lord, we pray for hope.
Come stir your hope within our hearts and renew our faith.
Lord, we pray for vision.
May your vision fill our lives as we seek to reveal your love.

We ask all this in the glorious name of Jesus.

Amen.”

MARRIAGE MINUTE
“I love you.” These words are so important to share with our spouse on a daily basis!
However, as our readings this weekend remind us, these words can ring hollow if not backed up
with the actions that convince our unique spouse of our love. To figure out your spouse’s “love
language.” answer the following:
• How does he/she attempt to get close when there is distance between you?
• In what ways does your spouse excel in showing love to others?
• When does your spouse feel most at ease and joyful?
• What time does your spouse anticipate the most?
• (When in doubt, it’s okay to ASK!)
Spending our limited time, money and energy on the things that make our spouse feel loved is a
very smart way to make those three little words go a long way.

MARRIED COUPLES
Just as you celebrate Labor Day at the end of summer, you can also celebrate your
Marriage by attending a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend. It’s a positive,
simple, common sense private experience between husband and wife that revitalizes
marriage. A weekend renews the romance and excitement you experienced during
your dating days. The next Weekends in Kansas City are
September 14-16, 2018 and November 9-11, 2018.
