Novena for Marriage

Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Marriage!
Marriage is a great gift from God. From the beginning of creation, God made man and woman to be united in a lifelong bond together. After the fall of Adam and Eve, sin entered into all things, including marriage.
Christ gave us the sacrament of marriage so that man and woman could gain the grace they need for a holy life together. Through the sacrament of marriage, God gives spouses the grace to love one another and their children in holiness.
Marriage can be very difficult at times, and spouses can face many challenges. But the sacramental grace of marriage can sustain spouses through trials.
In our modern world, marriage is being attacked in many ways. Holy marriages are very important in our lives and in our whole society.
Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for Marriage that God will strengthen and bless all marriages.
