O God,
you have created us in love
and saved
us in mercy,
and through the bond of
marriage
you have established the
family
and willed that it should
become a
sign of
Christ's love for
his Church.
Shower your blessings on this family
gathered here in your name.
Enable those who are joined by one love
to
support one another by their fervor of
spirit
and devotion to prayer.
Make them responsive to the needs of
others
and witnesses to the faith in all
they say and do.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
