Heavenly Father, Thank you for the abundant blessings you have poured out on Jacob and Macrina. Grant them the grace to know your nearness and love as they prepare to enter into marriage. Teach them patience, joy, and genuine love as they continue to learn about one other. May their hearts remain steadfast and resilient so that they may ever draw closer to Heaven with Your Son. Grant them the strength to always choose love, even in challenging times. Sts. Joachim and Anne, pray for us
