“Marriage is much bigger than the couple’s love for each other. Marriage is a sacred work two people have to do for God. Love helps, makes it easier to do, but the job demands doing even if ardor has cooled….”

A woman who says "I am submitted to Christ." but does not submit to her husband is a liar.
A man who says "I love God." but does not love and lay down his life for his wife is a liar.
If you cannot love and submit to one another, you cannot claim to love and be submitted to Christ.

Grandma nooooo 💀

•To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
~G. K Chesterton•

Forgiveness can be tough, especially when it is from our own family. It does not have to be that way however.

Love your enemies — love your family — love your neighbor

And most of all:
Love your God, for He will always love you—even if those you should love in this world do not.

•Resolve to be a wife who
Intercedes for her husband.
Prays for him,
Encourages him.
Builds him up in your home,
Be his crown
Not the rot in his bones•

Who is Happier?

JULY 26 ~ ST. ANNE

ST. ANNE was the spouse of St. Joachim, and was chosen by God to be the mother of Mary, His own blessed Mother on earth. They were both of the royal house of David, and their lives were wholly occupied in prayer and good works.

One thing only was wanting to their union.--they were childless, and this was held as a bitter misfortune among the Jews. At length, when Anne was an aged woman, Mary was born, the fruit rather of grace than of nature, and the child more of God than of man.

With the birth of Mary the aged Anne began a new life: she watched her every movement with reverent tenderness, and felt herself hourly sanctified by the presence of her immaculate child. But she had vowed her daughter to God, to God Mary had consecrated herself again, and to Him Anne gave her back.

Mary was three years old when Anne and Joachim led her up the Temple steps, saw her pass by herself into the inner sanctuary, and then saw her no more. Thus was Anne left childless in her lone old age, and deprived of her purest earthly joy just when she needed it most. She humbly adored the Divine Will, and began again to watch and pray, till God called her to unending rest with the Father and the Spouse of Mary in the home of Mary’s Child.

⚜️ Reflection
St. Anne is glorious among the Saints, not only as the mother of Mary, but because she gave Mary to God. Learn from her to reverence a divine vocation as the highest privilege, and to sacrifice every natural tie, however holy, at the call of God.
