To follow along:

Lord God, you have reminded us that in marriage husband and
wife are to be two in one flesh, and we are continually admonished
that in all things your bond of union is your law of love.
Teach me to be lovingly and closely united with my wife, as a husband should be.
Teach me to share with interest and
concern any problems and vexations
that she has.
Teach me to be a comfort and an aid
to her at all times in her burdens and
trials.
May I not be unreasonable in my demands but rather try to understand.
May I not be ready to affirm my own
rights so much as to consider the
feelings that are hers.
Teach me to be generous and in
everything considerate of her welfare.
Let mine never be nagging or complaining words, but let me realize the
value of frequent words of praise and
appreciation.
Let me not ask more of her than I am
prepared to give, but rather in my
position as head of the family let me
show forth the strength that should
be mine with greater generosity in
giving. When she is tired or weary, let me be
a solace and help.
When she is discouraged, let me be encouragement and support.
When she is worried, let me show the sympathy of love.
May I strive always and in everything that we may be one in you -- in mind
and heart and affection, according to your word. Amen. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/73554478Thu, 17 Sep 2026 11:50:02 +0000Joseph Raphael PascalA Prayer To Be A Good Husband To follow along: Lord God, you have reminded us that in marriage husband and wife are to be two in one flesh, and we are continually admonished that in all things your bond of union is your law of love.

The rosary is a Marian prayer that depicts the biblical life of Jesus. The word "rosary" derives from the Latin word "rosarium", meaning a garden of roses. Tradition tells us that Our lady appeared to St. Dominic while he prayed in the forest. "My son", the Queen of Heaven said, "prayer and penance are the only way to win souls". 

The Rosary is a deeply meditative Catholic prayer that reflects on key events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. These events are organized into four sets of "mysteries": the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries. Each set contains five individual mysteries (or events), making a total of 20. These mysteries are not just historical events but theological meditations meant to lead the faithful into a deeper relationship with Christ.

The Joyful Mysteries reflect on the joyful events surrounding the Incarnation of Jesus.These mysteries show how God's plan unfolds through humble, obedient human cooperation, especially in Mary.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66600508Thu, 19 Jun 2025 09:00:16 +0000Joseph Raphael PascalSaints & Skeptics Prayer Series - A Prayer For Peace (Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi) Recited five times.  To follow along: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where...
