Lord Jesus, We ask that as Christopher and Rachel prepare to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage, that they are open to Your love and Grace. That their standard of love and mercy may not be tainted by this world, but that the standard that they may look to is You, crucified, for each one of us. The greatest Love. That You may be the center of their hearts and lives. That through You, they may be a sincere gift of self to the other. That in every moment they may give thanks. That in everything they may lead each other and those they encounter closer to you. That their marriage may be a testament of Your healing love. That they may be blessed with children. That they may love when they feel like it and when they don't. That the Holy Spirit be in their hearts and minds, always informing their thoughts and actions. Come, Lord Jesus. We thank you for a rich life. Amen.
