Like murder, adultery begins from within, from evil thoughts

and impure desires. May we keep our hearts free of all that
tarnishes true love

LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER

OR
LORD, HELP US KEEP OUR HEARTS PURE
1. May pastors of the Church always propose and defend the sacramentality and Ideals of
marriage, marked by a commitment to exclusively and stability. We pray
2. May young adults not succumb to the culture of the ephemeral, moving from one
effective relationship to another, connecting or disconnecting love at their whims. We
pray.
3. May couples face and strive to overcome crises and hardships in marriage without
fleeing from challenges or concealing problems. We pray.
4. May couples who face crises in marriage recognize their need for healing, pray for the
grace to forgive and be forgiven, be willing to accept help, and never give up trying to
preserve their marriage. We pray.
5. That more young men and women be inspired by the Holy Spirit in joining the Brothers
of Christ and the Sisters of Mary congregation in serving the poorest of the Poor in the
name of Jesus. We pray
6. May everyone be concerned with the spread of pornography and the commercialization
of the body, fostered also by a misuse of the internet. We pray

Almighty God, you said that you hate divorce. Make us honor human sexuality, true
love, and indissolubility of marriage. We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen
