DID YOU KNOW that couples who have been married less than two months are given special seating at the weekly general audience with the Pope? Many of them attend in their wedding garments!
ON JUNE 15, 2011, Pope Benedict, at the general audience, addressed newlyweds, saying, "Dear newlyweds, I offer the heartfelt wish that you learn to pray together, so that your love be ever truer and lasting."
Here are examples of seven different styles of prayer that couples could use each day. I recommend that couples try a new one each day for seven days. Then, go back to the ones that seemed the most meaningful. Begin by listening to the AUDIO LESSON and then print the WORKSHEETS which will help you during your prayer time. I want to thank Cindy Shaw for her help in researching, developing, and writing these meditations. Please print this EVALUATION and fill it out as you complete the various meditations. We will discuss it when we meet for marriage preparation.
