14. Prayer for Marriage

    Most gracious God, we give you thanks for your tender love in sending Jesus Christ to come among us, to be born of a human mother, and to make the way of the cross to be the way of life.

    We thank you, also, for consecrating the union of man and woman in his Name.
    By the power of your Holy Spirit, pour out the abundance of your blessing upon this man and this woman.
    Defend them from every enemy.
    Lead them into all peace.
    Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts, a mantle about their shoulders, and a crown upon their foreheads.
    Bless them in their work and in their companionship; in their sleeping and in their waking; in their joys and in their sorrows; in their life and in their death.
    Finally, in your mercy, bring them to that table where your saints feast for ever in your heavenly home; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Christian
