Welcome, Lord, into your calm and peaceful kingdom those who, out of this present life, have departed to be with you; grant them rest and a place with the spirits of the just; and give them the life that knows not age, the reward that passes not away. St Ignatius Loyola

Marraige
Pope John Paul II told us that 'Marriage, in addition to being for the fruitfulness found in bringing into the world and nurturing new human beings made in the image of God, is also ordered toward the "healing,perfection and exaltation" of the man and woman'. Husband and wife are to be "subject to one another out of reverence for Christ."

Sample of a Reading for MarrriageA reading from the book of Tobit (8:4-8)On the evening of their marriage, Tobias said to Sarah,‘Let us pray and implore our Lord that he grant usmercy and safety.’ Tobias began by saying,‘Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors,and blessed is your name in all generations forever.Let the heavens and the whole creationbless you forever.You made Adam,and for him you made his wife Eveas a helper and support.From the two of them the human race has sprung.You said,“It is not good that the man should be alone;let us make a helper for him like himself.”I now am taking this kinswoman of mine,not because of lust,but with sincerity.Grant that she and I may find mercyand that we may grow old together.’And they both said, ‘Amen, Amen.
“Particularly in these times, when the voice of the Lord seems to be drowned out by ‘other voices’ and His invitation to follow Him by the gift of one’s own life may seem too difficult, every Christian community, every member of the Church, needs consciously to feel responsibility for promoting vocations. It is important to encourage and support those who show clear signs of a call to priestly life and religious consecration, and to enable them to feel the warmth of the whole community as they respond ‘yes’ to God and the Church. I encourage them, in the same words which I addressed to those who have already chosen to enter the seminary”
