Wedding Prayer
Maureen Killoran, MA, DMin
Today you take the step of consecrating the very special relationship you have been building . . . and in this step you change forever the direction of your individual life paths.
Today you begin your journey together, weaving the strands of your different lives into a strong thread that will be your guide, no matter how stimulating or strenuous your common path. Take time – even in the midst of all the excitement of these days – take time to acknowledge the blessing that you have been given, for love such as yours does not come to every person, nor does it make itself known every day.
Cherish the blessing that is your love.
Honor the gift that is the trust you show one for the other as you literally place your life into your loved one’s hands.
I pray that as your marriage unfolds you will come to each day with love and devotion in your hearts. That laughter and joy will always reside in your home.
May you live with quiet grace and gentle faith; your home blessed with wide-flung doors to welcome family and friends that the love you build together may be shared with the wider world. Above all, I pray that, at the end of your life's journey, you will look at one another and know that you have loved deeply, cared fully and grown wise in the soft light of God's love.
