A Silver Anniversary Prayer


Dearest Lord,

Our deepest THANK YOU
For all the blessings you have bestowed on us
In our journey as a married couple and as a family.
In all our bright as well as dark moments
You walked with us, waited with us
Held our hand and pulled us up.
You have been our most faithful and loving partner.

Deepen now our understanding of your Triune Love.
Make our family stay centered on your Sacred Divine Heart.
Help us to grow in the kind of mutual self-giving
That will radiate your light and love
Not only within our little family
But also outward to every person whom You bring into our life.

Lord, help us to remember the vows we affirmed
Before your sacred crucifix today.
Inspite of our shortcomings too many to count,
Help us to still do our very best to love and honor You,
Our most beloved partner in our “marriage of three”.

Amen.

Great is Thy Faithfulness



Great is thy faithfulness
Oh God our Father!

Morning by morning
All we have needed
Your hand hath provided:
Mercy and love
Pardon for sins
Peace that endureth
Thy dear presence
Cheering and guiding

Strength for today
Bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all ours
With ten thousand beside.

As Thou has been
Thou forever will be.

For thy great faithfulness
Oh God our Father,
Our thank you and love!



  Prayer adapted from  the song "Great is Thy Faithfulness" written by T. Chisolm & W. Runyan & sung by John McDermott
