Eternal Marriage
We are grateful, Lord,
that You provide eternal marriage for all who come into heaven,
and this with partners
whose souls so incline to union with each other
that they do not wish to be two lives but one.
I pray for my own true marriage in this world and to eternity.
Amen. (Adapted from Conjugial Love 50)

When Your Partner Dies
Lord, I rejoice that true marriage continues after death
and that the spirit of my partner in the other world
may dwell continually with my spirit in this world
until I die, when we may meet again and reunite
and love each other more tenderly than before.
Thank you, Lord, for this comforting promise.
Amen. (Adapted from Conjugial Love 321)

Marriage in the Next World
O Lord, I trust in Your providence
for those who in the world live unmarried and yet desire marriage.
I rejoice that You provide blessed marriages in heaven,
if not on earth, for all those who are spiritual.
Help me, Lord, to grow into spiritual marriage.
Amen. (Adapted from Conjugial Love 54)
