“Lord Jesus, we thank you for the gift of this couple and for the joy of their union. Bless them as they begin their life together. Strengthened by your grace, may they live in kindness, mutual respect, and unfailing love so that their whole life is pleasing to you. May Mary and St. Joseph, who made a holy home at Nazareth, guide their family and protect their marriage, keeping them ever close to you. Amen.”
