‘The world needs your witness’

From The Superior Catholic Herald...
 

There were no flowers in hand, no white dresses or tuxedos, no bridesmaids or groomsmen. There were however, couples – many with family members gathered – in a church with an altar and a priest. There was beautiful music, reading of Scripture and an inspiring homily.

As my husband and I gathered at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Superior, with more than 80 other couples for the Diocese of Superior’s annual Wedding Anniversary Jubilee Mass, I had no doubt that the celebration looked different than our individual wedding days.

Facing each other, with the same hands that held each other on our wedding days, my husband, Denny, and I and every couple looked at each other with the same eyes and used the same voices as we all renewed our vows.

Our rings were probably a little tarnished and our stories a little messy, but I imagine most of us would admit our love was deeper and more mature than on our wedding days. Most importantly, we were all renewing our commitment to include God in our marriages, to thank him for the blessings and ask for his grace and strength in the years to come.
