Reflection of the Week
“We should never lose sight of the goal which we have to reach, namely, that each one of us must become identified with Jesus Christ, who...became poor for you and for me, and suffered, that we might have an example of how to follow in his footsteps.”
- St. Josemaria Escriva
Friends of God, 110
Novena for a Happy & Faithful Marriage
"...When we talk about marriage and married life, we must begin by speaking clearly about the mutual love of husband and wife. Their pure and noble love is a sacred thing. As a priest, I bless it with all my heart."
- St. Josemaria Escriva, Christ is Passing By, 24
Novena for a Happy & Faithful Marriage
St. Josemaria Escriva believed that “those who are called to the married state will, with the grace of God, find within their state everything they need to be holy, to identify themselves each day more with Jesus Christ, and to lead those with whom they live to God.”
- Conversations with Saint Josemaria, 91
The Novena for a Happy and Faithful Marriage, a new publication by the St. Josemaria Institute, is inspired by St. Josemaria's desire to help all married couples, and those preparing for marriage, to find meaning and encouragement in their supernatural calling, especially when facing inevitable difficulties and times of trial.
The booklet contains an introduction on how to pray the novena, daily reflections from “Marriage: A Christian Vocation” a homily by St. Josemaria, and the Prayer for the Family through the intercession of St. Josemaria.
Price: $2.00 single copies
Volume discount available for 10+ copies.
Through reflection and prayer, the novena is a guide that helps spouses bring to God the needs and challenges of daily life while striving to attain the virtues - especially purity, humility, generosity, and love - that lead to happiness while living a faithful marriage.
The Novena for a Happy and Faithful Marriage is ideal for personal prayer and as a gift for married friends and family.
