A while ago I wrote a short post<\/a> about my friend Mike. He was Baptized at the Easter Vigil this year and I had the honour of being his Godfather. Well, the ol’ boy just chalked up another Sacrament! A couple of weeks ago he married my former neighbor, Mara.<\/p>\n

\"For<\/p>\n

Back when I began Restless Pilgrim I wrote a post entitled Early Church Fathers, Love & Romance<\/a>\u00a0and I was going to end this current post with my favourite quotation from St. John Chrysostom, but I thought instead that I’d end with a Scripture as Mike and Mara really did a superb job of choosing the Readings for the wedding. The Second Reading they chose was the same one I read for my sister at her wedding…<\/p>\n

…I\u00a0bow my knees before the Father,\u00a0from whom\u00a0every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,\u00a0that He would grant you, according to\u00a0the riches of His glory, to be\u00a0strengthened with power through His Spirit in\u00a0the inner man,\u00a0so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;\u00a0and\u00a0that you, being\u00a0rooted and\u00a0grounded in love,\u00a0may be able to comprehend with\u00a0all the\u00a0saints what is\u00a0the breadth and length and height and depth,\u00a0and to know\u00a0the love of Christ which\u00a0surpasses knowledge, that you may be\u00a0filled up to all the\u00a0fullness of God.<\/em> – Ephesians 3:14-19<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d appreciate it if you’d say a prayer for them tonight \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
