1. For our deceased members and benefactors, and for the one who will die first among us.
2. For our local superior.
3. For peace in our world.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“The sacrament of marriage is not a social convention, an empty ritual or merely the outward sign of a commitment. The sacrament is a gift given for the sanctification and salvation of the spouses.” (Amoris Laetitia, 72)
