The Prayer

Heavenly Father, I place my husband into Your loving hands. Guide his thoughts, guard his heart, and strengthen his spirit. Bless his work, his relationships, and every responsibility You have entrusted to him. Grant him wisdom in his decisions, courage in his trials, and peace in his worries. Protect him from all harm and surround him with Your grace. May Your Holy Spirit fill him with faith, hope, and charity, and may our marriage reflect the love of Christ for His Church. Through the intercession of the Blessed Mother and all Your saints, keep him close to You today and always. Amen.
