Sacrament of Holy Matrimony

Father, you have made the union of man and woman so holy a mystery that it symbolizes the marriage of Christ and his Church....

Father, keep them always true to your commandments. Keep them faithful in marriage and let them be living examples of Christian life. Give them the strength which comes from the gospel so that they may be witnesses of Christ to others. Bless them with children and help them to be good parents. May they live to see their children's children. And, after a happy old age, grant them the fullness of life with the saints in the kingdom of heaven.
