Litany of Married Saints

This litany comes from 30 Days with Married Saints. It was powerful when we were praying it with the retreat team for a marriage enrichment retreat. I also love it as a reminder of all the different kinds of saints that have given us such wonderful looks at how to live for Jesus in regular life. As we come up to All Saints' Day, let's as for their prayers that we may become saints too.
