Prayer for the Home:
For Your Marriage retreat
If the Hallmark Channel is to be believed, June is the month for weddings. If it’s been a while since you celebrated your nuptials, or if you feel that the honeymoon has long been over, perhaps this July could be the month to participate in a retreat to strengthen your marriage. For Your Marriage (part of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s National Pastoral Initiative for Marriage) offers several free seven-day self-directed retreats in English and in Spanish for couples who want to grow in their relationship with God and one another.
Para su Retiro Matrimonial
Si le creemos al canal de Hallmark, Junio es el mess de los matrimonios. Si han pasado algunos años desde que celebró sus nupcias, o siente que la luna de miel ha terminado, este mes de julio podría ser el mes para fortalecer su matrimonio. Para su Matrimonio (parte de la Iniciativa Pastoral Nacional para el Matrimonio de la Conferencia de los Obispos católicos de los Estados Unidos), ofrece diversos retiros sin costo de siete días en inglés y español, para parejas que buscan crecer en su relación con Dios y si mismos.
