My wife and I will reach 40 years this summer.
I would also wish to tender my early congratulations to you, dear sir, and your wife together with your entire family on the imminent occasion of the anniversary of your sacred nuptial vows; upon whom Jesus, Mary and Joseph may bestow the fullness of every heavenly grace and blessing.
Thank you for showing yet another proof for us that grace can indeed work prodigies even in this lost world: for a marriage that lasts so long in this wretched world must indeed be the work of grace and a miracle.
Please be also assured of my prayers.
