2015 NAMED THE YEAR FOR MARRIAGE Prayer for Marriage and Family Heavenly Father, your Son, Jesus, once part of a family, is a blessing for husbands and wives, for fa-thers and mothers and their chil-dren. Help our moms and dads to be faithful to each other and open to new life, your gift to them. Guide them to raise their children to be good citizens of both heaven and earth. Pour your Holy Spirit upon married couples to strengthen their bond, upon all families that they may face the challenges of our times with strength that comes from the Gospel, and upon our homes that they may be places of love and joy and thus a source of blessing for our Church and our society. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. For more information on the Year of Marriage, go to www.dioceseofgrandrapids.org
