“God is love and he who abides in love, abides in God, and God abides in him” - 1 John 4:16
On a beautiful sunny afternoon in September, 2016, my husband Bob and I, along with our family and some close friends arrived at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the south end of Boston. Cardinal Sean O’Malley had extended an invitation to all married couples in the Archdiocese Celebrating their 25th and 50th anniversary that year, to come together in this beautiful church to renew our marriage vows and receive his blessings. We did not hesitate to accept his invitation.The above verse from St. Paul to the Corinthians sums up the many lessons a couple 50 years married must practice over and over again."Love is patient and kind…Love does not insist on its own way; It is not irritable or resentful"
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
This fall, on October 29, the annual Anniversary Mass is again taking place at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Bob and I would like to encourage those of you who are celebrating a milestone anniversary to take advantage of this invitation to receive “A Very Special Blessing”and experience the love, peace and joy that we did on that day.
“Love bears all things, believes all things, Hopes all things, endures all things”- 1 Corinthians 13:7
