Novena for the protection of natural marriage

Here's a good idea from LMS Chairman.  Why not make the Novena to Our Lady of Good Success, starting today if possible and ending on 1 February (the day before the Feast of the Purification and also the Feast of Our Lady of Good Success) for the protection of natural marriage against the proposed same sex marriage legislation?

I hadn't heard of this devotion (which apparently has full ecclesiastical approval) before but will be making it.  If anyone can defend marriage and family life, it's Our Lady!

  1. he interactions of distressed couples are characterized by negative cycles such as pursue-withdraw and criticize-defend. The therapist helps couples go to the underlying emotions that keep them stuck in these rigid positions and negative interaction cycles. Positive cycles then become self-reinforcing and a safe heaven and healing environment for both partners.marriage
