16 years and counting



16 years ago this afternoon, the life I had lived ceased to exist and I was united with the love of my life and our "two" became "one". Even when we are separated for a short time, I find that I am incomplete. I cannot imagine my life without you.

Happy Anniversary, Sally! I love you!

Congratulations! May I offer this prayer for you both:


A Prayer for a Married Couple

O God, our Heavenly Father, protect and bless us. Deepen and strengthen our love for each other day by day. Grant that by Thy mercy neither of us ever say one unkind word to the other.

Forgive and correct our faults, and make us constantly to forgive one another should one of us unconsciously hurt the other. Make us and keep us sound and well in body, alert in mind, tender in
heart, devout in spirit. O Lord, grant us each to rise to the other's best. Then we pray Thee add to our common life such virtues as only Thou canst give. And so, O Father, consecrate our life and our love completely to Thy worship, and to the service of all about us, especially those whom Thou has appointed us to serve, that we may always stand before Thee in happiness
and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


This beautiful prayer was written by Bishop Slattery, soon after his marriage, to be used each day in their family devotions at home in Boston, Massachusetts.
