Dear Lovers,

“Habemus papam” -- "We have a pope." We pray the Holy Spirit will continue to guide Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church. May we in Worldwide Marriage Encounter add support to Pope Benedict XVI as we continue to live up to our Mission of renewal in the Church. As we look back in memory of Pope John Paul II, our 1993 Matimony magazine offers a Love Letter from Our Holy Father. Considering our own history, in Twenty Five Years! Wow!, Fr. Chuck Gallagher looks back at the 25th Anniversary of WWME. As we look forward, see how some of the next generation have chosen to include themselves in WWME in Marriage Encounter Community - Kids & Teens Included.

New articles include:

- Under Priest’s Corner/Biographies we hear about the experience one priest had in My Story of Experiencing a Marriage Encounter Weekend, and learn more in Journey of A Priest, and A Lover Who Spans the World.

- Under Inviting we are reminded in The Lost Wallet that we must always be ready to act on the opportunity to invite someone to attend a Weekend.

- Under Resources/Miscellaneous: We Looked So Different Years Ago reminds us love never dies, and love continues in the beautiful poem Remember.

- Under Family/Weekend Effect reminds us of the importance of Community in Love Is A Daily Decision and Community, We Are Fred & Luisa.

- Under News/Local we have Maine ME Early Apostles, under News/International see Guam-Saipan-Okinawa to see how Section 12 spans outside the continental United States and News/Convention, includes Reflections On Our Journey To Rutgers.

- Under Resources/Archives, we have added the four issues of Matrimony Magazine printed in 1993. We have also updated a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet listing all articles published from 1994 through 2003.

-When you visit eMatrimony please remember to check our prayer Intentions & Requests. Our family relies on your prayers when they ask us to include their special intentions.
