Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Todays gospel shows us how Jesus modeled the rhythm of work and prayer. Jesus
knew that this time of retreat was necessary if He was to minister to the needs of
others. How true this model of prayer is for married couples. Couples who regularly
pray together report having happier, stronger marriages and are better able to meet
their parenting and work responsibilities. How do you pray as a couple?
