O Lord, omnipotent and eternal God, we give you thanks and we bless your holy name. You created man and woman in your image and blessed their union, so that each would be for the other a help and support. Remember us today. Protect us and grant that our love may be in the image of the devotion and love of Christ for his Church. Grant us a long and fruitful life together, in joy and in peace, so that, through your Son and in the Holy Spirit, our hearts may always rise to you in praise and goods works.

When Two People Marry

Your hearts are filled with happiness
so great and overflowing
You cannot comprehend it
for it’s far beyond all knowing
How any heart could feel such joy
or feel the fullness of
The wonder and the glory
and ecstasy of love -
You wish that you could capture it
and never let it go
So you might walk forever
in its radiant magic glow…
But love in all its ecstasy
is such a fragile thing,
Like gossamer in cloudless skies
or a hummingbird’s small wing,
But love that lasts FOREVER
must be made of something strong,
The kind of strength that’s gathered
when the heart can hear no song-
When the “sunshine” of your wedding day
runs into “stormy weather”
and hand in hand you brave the gale
and climb steep hills together,
and clinging to eachother
while the thunder rolls above
You seek divine protection
in FAITH and HOPE and LOVE
For “DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES”
never make ones dream come true,
It takes sacrifice and teardrops,
and problems shared by two,
To give true love its BEAUTY,
it GRANDEUE and its FINENESS
and to mold an “earthly ecstasy”
into HEAVENLY DIVINENESS.
