The Sacred Bond

In the quiet chapel of hearts entwined, 
Two souls unite, their destinies aligned. 
As Christ loves His Church, so they aspire, 
To mirror grace and set each other on fire.

Husband, a shepherd with gentle might, 
Guardian of love, in day and night. 
His touch, a sacrament, his words a prayer, 
He sanctifies her soul with tender care.

Wife, a vessel of strength and grace, 
Her submission not weakness, but a sacred space. 
She yields, not to chains, but to love’s sweet call, 
A dance of reverence, where both stand tall.

Together they honor, serve, and adore, 
In this holy union, forevermore. 
For marriage blooms where selflessness thrives, 
And Christ’s love echoes through their lives.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
