You can have a Novena of Masses offered for Marriage

Greetings!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Flowers, chocolate, jewelry, or a night on the town are usually at the top of everyone's gift list.

But why not give your Valentine a gift that has eternal value, the gift of holy mass?

Servant of God Lucia dos Santos, one of the seers in Fatima, warned, “the final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family.” It's no surprise that the fiercest spiritual battle is being waged against Christian marriages and families. Not only will this Novena of Masses put a "hedge of protection" around your marriage, but it will also call down a shower of heavenly grace.

Monsignor Matthew Odong, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Gulu in Northern Uganda will celebrate this Novena of Masses for our marriages, our families, and the Domestic Church, beginning on February 14th, St. Valentine's Day through February 22nd.

We invite you to add:
  • Your own marriage
  • The names of your friends and loved ones who are married
  • Couples who are engaged to be married
  • Those who are struggling in their marriages
  • Deceased married couples or spouses

In this way, we can truly honor this holy sacrament and those who have been called to live it out in the challenging times in which we live by praying for their spiritual and temporal needs. May this Novena of Masses be a source of abundant grace, protection, and healing.

Let us protect and pray for marriages and families, for as our Saint John Paul II, of happy memory, affirmed, "the future of the world and of the Church passes through the family."

Thank you for joining us in this Novena of Masses.

With gratitude,
Johnnette and the Staff of Women of Grace
P.S. Should you desire to add a stipend for these masses, you will receive as our gift, a link to the Women of Grace Valentine's ONLINE Marriage Retreat: "Falling in Love and Staying There!" Your stipend assists priests and seminarians in the Archdiocese of Gulu.

P.P.S. Also available are Gregorian Masses, and single Masses for your deceased loved ones or special intentions. These Masses are personally arranged by Monsignor Matthew Odong, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Gulu in Northern Uganda. If your spouse has died, this would be a beautiful gift of remembrance.
"A man and a woman united in marriage, together with their children, form a family. This institution is prior to any recognition by public authority, which has an obligation to recognize it. It should be considered the normal reference point by which the different forms of family relationship are to be evaluated."

- Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2202


Prayer for Marriage & Family by Pope Benedict XVI

O God, who in the Holy Family
left us a perfect model of family life
lived in faith and obedience to your will.
Help us to be examples of faith and love for your commandments.
Help us in our mission of transmitting the faith that we received from our parents.
Open the hearts of our children
so that the seed of faith, which they received in Baptism, will grow in them.
Strength the faith of our young people,
that they may grow in knowledge of Jesus.
Increase love and faithfulness in all marriages,
especially those going through times of suffering or difficulty. (...)

United to Joseph and Mary,
we ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord. Amen.
Thank you for your support of our mission!
