A COUPLE'S PRAYER (About to Get Married):

O Lord, we thank you for this wonderful gift of our love
which You have generously granted us and which allows us to build a true communion of persons between us ---provided we remain ever open to You, the Source of all love.

Help us to continue to love each other and accept each other unconditionally, as we get to know each other better.
Make us generous in giving and humble in receiving.
Enable us to communicate to one another all our joys, sufferings, and desires and all our hopes, sorrows, and difficulties.
Give us the power of Your Love that we may forget self and live for each other so that we may have truly one spirit, in preparation for the time when You will send us children to add to our union and love.

Amen.

Keep Christ in Christmas: THE LIGHT OF HOPE

"I’m participating in the KEEP CHRIST in CHRISTMAS Blog Link-Up 2013 sponsored by the Catholic Bloggers Network ." Be sure to visit as many links as possible , listed at the bottom of this post. Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child. Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use.

Love at First Sight!

Love is something we experience right from the very moment of our conception. Inside a mother's womb, the first sound a child listens to is the sweet sound of love beating from a mother's heart.

A newborn baby learns to feel love the minute his heart begins to beat. Love simply comes naturally for all of us who are blessed to live. For indeed, LOVE gives birth to LIFE. It is the very essence of our being. It is the very reason for us to fulfill our purpose and destiny.

We’ll be sharing different ways, tips, stories and real-life experiences that will help us focus on Lenten sacrifices, prayer and good deeds, and how to carry them out with LOVE instead of a GRUMBLE. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of link-up entries." It’s simply amazing how much I can learn from someone so young. A child can definitely teach us - older ones - a lot about love… Out of nowhere, my son told me, “ Faith is my life ”. He was actually referring to his playmate, a girl about his age named, Faith. I honestly didn't know where he learned to say those words, but in the pureness and innocence of his heart he was happy and proud to express it. There was another time he came up to my husband and me and said… “ Daddy, Mommy is y
