Sample Renewal of Commitment (re-affirmation of vows) Prayer for Marriage Homily Notes, Diocese of Trenton for Feb. 10, 2018 Marriage Strengthening Ideas from diocesan Plan for Strengthening Marriage Statement of Purpose World Marriage Day honors husband and wife as head of the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily, married life. History: Symbol: Theme: Prayer: The idea of celebrating marriage began in Baton Rouge, La., in 1981, when couples encouraged the mayor, the governor and the Bishop to proclaim St. Valentines Day as "We Believe in Marriage Day". The event was so successful; the idea was presented to and adopted by Worldwide Marriage Encounter's national leadership. By 1982, 43 Governors officially proclaimed the day and celebrations spread to U.S. military bases in several foreign countries. In 1983, the name was changed to "World Marriage Day", designated to be celebrated each year on the second Sunday in February. WMD celebrations continue to grow and spread to more countries and faith expressions every year. Our World Marriage Day Symbol speaks of the role and values we proclaim. Husband and wife are symbolically seen as two candle-like figures, reminding us that married love calls us to help enlighten the world. The couple is joined by a heart, focusing on love as the power that fosters unity within the couple and generates the capacity to be life-giving and inspire others to fruitfulness and unity. The Theme for WMD has been permanently adopted as "Love One Another". This phrase is the commandment given us by Jesus in John 15:12. It speaks to us in a simple but challenging way of how our Heavenly Father wishes us to live. Loving one another is a daily decision - simple, but challenging. "Father, as we prepare for WMD, we thank you for your tremendous gift of the Sacrament of Marriage. Help us to witness to its glory by a life of growing intimacy. Teach us the beauty of forgiveness so we may become more and more One in Heart, Mind and Body. Strengthen our communication and help us become living signs of your love. Make us grow more in love with the church so we may renew the Body of Christ. Make us a sign of unity in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Brother. Amen" - Fr. Bill Dilgen, S.M.M.

Look with favor on these married couples, whom you have united in marriage, as they ask for your help and the protection of the Virgin Mary. They pray that in good times and in bad they will grow in love for each other; that they will resolve to be of one heart in the bond of peace. Lord, in their struggles let them rejoice that you are near to help them; in their needs let them know that you are there to rescue them; in their joys let them see that you are the source and completion of every happiness. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN. Solemn Blessing at End of Mass Celebrant: "Bow your heads and pray for God's blessing." "May God the almighty Father, give you joy.

9 Homily Notes for World Marriage Day, February 10, th Sunday of Ordinary Time Second Reading: 1Corinthians 15:1-11 (shorter form 1Corinthians 15:3-8) There is an abundance of proof for the resurrection. Jesus empowered Paul, once a sinner, to spread the good news. To be humble and to recognize our gifts as coming from God can enable us to use them to do great things for Him. We should preach the Gospel to others so that they may believe. Gospel: Luke 5:1-11 We should recognize our sins and ask for God s forgiveness. When we follow Jesus and trust in Him, great things can happen. All that we are given is for the purpose of serving others in the name of God. Food For Thought: God knows we are not perfect. We are all sinners and need God s love and forgiveness in our lives. Being a sinner or feeling weak are not excuses for failing to answer God s call. To know our sins, to feel remorse, and to seek forgiveness can put us on the path to glory. When we follow Jesus and trust in Him, great things can happen, even in our weakness. We are strengthened by God to do His work, but we must be willing to trust in Him and do our best. Story: A teacher was about to head home after a long day. This day was harder than most, and she was feeling particularly down. She thought that she was not reaching her students and was wasting her time. She even wondered if she was in the right profession and if she was really making a difference. As she packed her things, the teacher took a breath. She said a quick prayer that simply asked God to show her His plan for her. As she left the classroom, she immediately encountered a student waiting outside her door. The student was crying. Through her tears the student explained that she needed help. The student felt she could trust the teacher. As they talked, the teacher began to believe that she was making more of a difference than she realized. Petition: That we will understand how we are called to use our gifts to make a difference in the world, we pray to the Lord. Bulletin Announcement Even when we feel weak, our God strengthens us to do His work. But we must be willing to give our best for God. Are you able to answer God s call by saying, Here I am, send me?
