Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to the father of our children!!

Fr B. told us we'd just signed up for 50 years of happiness, and we could come back and renew at the end of that time....
Remembering 37 years ago today.
May God touch you in a very special way, especially today.

The LORD bless you and keep you:
The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
~~Numbers 6:24-26

God bless!





Our vows:
The groom said:I (M), take you (M) to be my wife.
I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.

The bride said:I (M), take you (M) to be my husband.
I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.

But it is also proper to recognize the value of the witness of those spouses who, even when abandoned by their partner, with the strength of faith and of Christian hope have not entered a new union: These spouses too give an authentic witness to fidelity, of which the world today has a great need. For this reason they must be encouraged and helped by the pastors and the faithful of the church.
~~FAMILIARIS CONSORTIO Pope John Paul II 12/15/1981 (Sec 20)


"Right is still right if nobody is right,
and wrong is still wrong if everybody is wrong,"
Archbishop Fulton J Sheen author of The Life of Christ

"So when you make a promise (or a VOW) to God, don't delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. It is better to say nothing than to promise something that you don't follow through on. In such cases, your mouth is making you sin.
And don't defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise
you made was a mistake.
That would make God angry, and he might wipe out
everything you have achieved."
~~ Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 New Living Translation
