Quotes about prayers:

Prayer does not change God, but changes him who prays.
- Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) Danish philosopher and writer.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
- Martin Luther (1483-1546) German priest and scholar.

To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention -- on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God -- that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying. The primary task of the schoolteacher is to teach children, in a secular context, the technique of prayer.

- W. H. Auden (1907-1973) English-born poet and man of letters.

Prayer at the Marriage of a Son or Daughter

Lord Jesus Christ, You said that on their marriage grown children would leave father and mother and cling to their spouse.
Our child has taken this step today, receiving the wonderful Sacrament of Marriage. Watch over him/her in this new life.
May this couple find happiness in each other and in You as they raise a new family to your honor and glory.
Help me to accept this marriage wholeheartedly with the realization that I am not losing one child, but gaining another.
Amen.

Blessing of an Engaged Couple

Heavenly Father, we praise You for your wisdom in arranging

deepen their spirit of prayer and love,
and lead them to receive the Sacrament of Marriage with joy and happiness.
We ask this in the Name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

All women are flirts, but some are restrained by shyness, and others by sense.

Helen Rowland (1875-1950) American journalist and humorist.

Love will find a way. Indifference will find an excuse.

When a man has once loved a woman, he will do anything for her, except continue to love her.
- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet and dramatist.
