Heavenly Father,
You have called us to the vocation of marriage, to love and serve one another as a reflection of Your divine love. Through the intercession of Blessed Maria Corsini and Venerable Luigi help us to embrace the joys and the struggles of daily life with patience and trust. Teach us to see Your hand at work in our marriage, to encourage and uplift one another, and to always seek You as the source of our unity.
May our love be a witness of faith to our family and the world.
Amen
