The attack on marriage is really an attack on the human person, and his dignity, for the devil seeks to pervert our true purpose, to pervert God's holy design. For many of us, we cannot march in protests or write dozens of letters or call numerous times to urge legislators to vote for the Truth. But one thing we can all do is pray and fast. We have designated one day each week to fast for these intentions:

1. That marriage may be preserved, promoted, and understood as God's plan for creation.

2. For all marriages that they may reflect the love of the Trinity.

3. For broken marriages that Christ bring healing and conversion to the spouses' souls.

4. For those who are married, for the sanctification of their marriage and their spouse. For those who are single, for their future spouse and vocation.

"And they lived happily ever after"

+
JMJ

Life is a struggle and often does not turn out as expected.  But even when tragedy strikes, God in His infinite mercy finds a way to bring healing and peace.  This is a beautiful, real life happy-ending, to a tragedy that struck over a three-quarters of a century ago.  A woman was raped, conceived a child, and gave her up for adoption.  She was then reunited with her daughter, 77 years later.  I encourage you to read the amazing story.
