Powerfully bring to fulfillment  

“We always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 THES 1: 11-12) 

God’s love called us to a life that will never end. Whatever we do, He is behind us to support and “powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose,” “that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in” us. Whatever we do for our marriages or for our families makes us “worthy of His calling,” because we are called to be the best husbands and the best wives and together—the best parents for our children. 

“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
