Marriage Retorno means turning toward God as a couple.  The goal of Marriage Retorno is to provide an atmosphere, and context in which the couple can open themselves both as individuals and as a couple to a dialogue with God through Scripture.  It is a weekend prayer experience for husband and wife, facilitated by a married couple and a Catholic priest.  It provides participating couples with an opportunity for a renewal of their relationship as a couple with God

Rooted in the Word of God, the Magisterium of the church, and the beauty of the Sacrament of Matrimony, Marriage Retorno offers married couples a method of prayer which is a source of direction and discernment in their lives and a way to know the Lord in a fuller, deeper way.  Marriage Retorno's strength is couple prayer as a way of life.  It offers a service to married couples, particularly those in Ministry.  

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Undoer of Knots

Holy Mary, full of God’s presence during the days of your life, you accepted with full humility the Father’s will, and the Devil was never capable to tie you around with his confusion. Once with your Son you interceded for our difficulties, and, full of kindness and patience you gave us example of how to untie the knots of our life. And by remaining forever Our Mother, you put in order, and make clearer the ties that link us to the Lord. Holy Mother, Mother of God, and our Mother, to you, who untie with motherly heart the knots of our life, we pray to you to receive in your hands (name of person), and to free him/her of the knots and confusion with which our enemy attacks. Through your grace, your intercession, and your example, deliver us from all evil, Our Lady, and untie the knots that prevent us from being tied with God, so that we, free from sin and error, may find Him in all things, may have our hearts placed in Him, and may serve Him always in our brothers and sisters. Amen.
