Maybe you have heard the saying before, "The family that prays together, stays together." A few years ago, a priest in the Colorado Springs area* did a survey concerning the stability of marriages in relationship to a solid practice of faith. These are the results:
Couples married by a Justice of the Peace - one out of two marriages break up.
Couples married by the Church - one out of three marriages break up.
Couples married by the Church and attend Church together - one out of 50 marriages break up.
Couples married by the Church, go to Church together and pray together - one out of 1,429 marriage break up.
PRAY with reverence to God, THANK Him for all your blessings. BE open to His divine will. PRAY for conversion of sinners, family members and other special intentions. PRAY for inner peace, world peace and an end to abortion.
Note: We have the results of the survey but since have lost the name of the priest. If anyone out there knows who this is we would love to hear from you! Please send a message to Alan Mally, webmaster for Crusade for Life.
