Prayer for Husbands and Wives.

Lord, inspire those men and women

who bear the titles "Husband" and "Wife".

Help them to look to You

to themselves

to one another

to rediscover the fullness and mystery

they once felt in their union.

Let them be honest enough to ask:

"Where have we been together

and where are we going?

Let them be brave enough to question:

"How have we failed?"

Let each be foolhardy enough to say:

"For me, we come first".

Help them, together

to reexamine their commitment

in the light of Your love,

willingly, openly, compassionately.

One Hail Mary...

Hail, O Virgin of Guadalupe.

We place under your powerful patronage

the purity and integrity of the Holy Faith in Mexico

and in all the American Continent,

for we are certain that while you are recognized as Queen and Mother,

America and Mexico and our Matrimony will be saved...

Amen.
