Covenant

Jesus replies, “What God has joined, man must not separate”  (Matthew 19:6).  Lord, do not let our hearts be hardened to our covenant with you.  Help marriages to be strong and true to your teaching and help those who choose celibacy for the sake of your kingdom remain faithful to their promises.  Help us all to imitate your faithful and fruitful chaste love.  Keep us faithful to your teaching and never let us be separated from you.
