A new prayer book just published encourages Catholic married couples to pray together before they do the nasty.
The Prayer Book for Spouses offers a prayer before sex that asks the Holy Spirit to “place within us love that truly gives, tenderness that truly unites … [and] loving physical union that welcomes” before asking to “clothe us in true dignity and take to yourself our shared aspirations, for your glory, forever and ever. Mary, our mother, intercede for us. Amen.”
Other prayers in the 64-page book are for raising children and caring for sick or dying relatives.
But the book is not catching on very quickly. As of a week ago, St. Paul’s Publishing, which is handling the distribution of the book, had only sold 35 copies at $6.95 each.

Do blowjobs count?
Talk about a mood killer.
And your point of this article is? I find this rather disrespectful to Catholics. So what if they chose to pray before sex, why is that anyone’s business?! What does this have to do with anything. This article was really offensive and unnecessary.
All of which reminds me of a story.
Seems this young fellow had just graduated from Baptist seminary and
was intent on finding the most pure, untouched christian virgin
Baptist sweet thing for his wife. After quite a bit of searching, he
found exactly the young woman for whom he was searching — right there
in the front row of the First Baptist Church choir.
He was so delighted that God had saved this precious virgin for him
that he told everyone he knew how blessed he was.
After a pleasant courtship, they were married and headed out for their
honeymoon.
Upon arriving at the resort where they would spend the next few days,
they checked into their room and he slipped into the bathroom to brush
his teeth and to prepare for what lay ahead (no pun intended).
Upon emerging from the bathroom, there he saw his fine, innocent,
virgin new bride stretched out on the king-sized bed, wearing only her
birthday suit with her, uh-h-h-h, her, uh, private parts wide open.
“WHAT IS THIS???” The young seminarian shrieked as he hid his eyes
from this evil. “I expected to find you beside the bed on your
knees!!!!”
To which his blushing bride replied, “Well, I can do it that way but
it makes my knees hurt after a while.”
