God of Love,
You have existed in an eternal circle of self-giving from the beginning. Your nature is to love, to submit, to please the Other instead of the self. Because you wish for humanity to join in this unending dance, you teach us to love in the same way. We often fall short, but you stubbornly love us anyway. Like a whore, we wander away and sleep with false gods. We squander your wealth in hedonistic wild living. Yet you remain faithful.
My dear friend wants to be reconciled in his marriage. But she does not seem interested. Give him the strength to imitate your love. May he love her as stubbornly as you love us. Give him a supernatural power to love even when she spits at him, insults him, and crucifies him. And in the process, make him your disciple.
Stamp your image on his life. And pursue her until she cannot resist your grace any longer. Reunite these two in a passionate embrace. Work your miracle of peace as you so love to do.
Amen.
This is beautiful. I'm honored to be your wife.
