Epiklesia?

I have read a paraphrased version of Canon 1116 of the 1983 Code, but would much prefer to read it in an official English language version. Anyone out there have a site on the internet where I can find it? Thanks Dick

Can. 1116 §1 If one who, in accordance with the law, is competent to assist, cannot be present or be approached without grave inconvenience, those who intend to enter a true marriage can validly and lawfully contract in the presence of witnesses only:

1° in danger of death;

2° apart from danger of death, provided it is prudently foreseen that this state of affairs will continue for a month.

§2 In either case, if another priest or deacon is at hand who can be present, he must be called upon and, together with the witnesses, be present at the celebration of the marriage, without prejudice to the validity of the marriage in the presence of only the witnesses.

Thankyou very much. I thought the paraphraser was stretching things more than a little and I was able to confirm that. Thanks again.
