Holy Hour to Pray for the Institution of Marriage--Supreme Court Ruling Expected This Month

The United States Supreme Court is expected to announce a decision later this month as to whether same sex unions must be recognized as marriage under the Constitution and possibly reject marriage as an institution founded on the unity of one man and one woman. The Court may, in one-stroke, redefine marriage for decades or even centuries to come. Marriage is a sacred bond, instituted by God, designed by Him in the Good Creation and serves as the primary building-block of society and culture.

In this Holy Hour let us come together and pray that Our Lord will enlightened the hearts and minds of the Supreme Court Justices to uphold the truth about marriage, ask God to strengthen marriage for the good of the Church and the world, and ask Him to give us graces to bring His light, love, compassion and understanding to those who may struggle with the Gospel teachings regarding human sexuality and marriage.
