A Prayer of Married Persons

Pray by candlelight

Lord Jesus Christ, by Your presence You blessed the wedding in Cana and
showed us that You are the true priest of mystical and pure marriage.
We thank You for the day on which by Your heavenly blessing You joined
us in the sacrament of marriage. Lord, continue to bless and enrich our
marriage in love companionship, mutual support, oneness of heart and
progress in faith and life. Protect our Holy wedlock from sin, evil and
danger. Nurture between us the spirit of understanding, the spirit of
forgiveness and the spirit of peace, that no resentment, quarrel or other
problem may cause us to stumble and fall. Grant us to see our own faults
and not to judge each other. Keep our bond of love always new. Gladden
our lives with the joys of marriage, that with one heart we may praise
and glorify You. Amen.
