Introductory Rites

Commentator: This morning we have come to celebrate the beginning of a new life

which love has awaken. For love is always an awakening, a discovery

which extends beyond ourselves and reaches out to other. In this great

Feast of Love, which we are about to share, we pray that through theexample of St. Thomas Aquinas, God will help ANTHONY and MACY

to grow in wisdom and in holiness by initiating His faith. We pray that

Christ may give ANTHONY and MACY the grace to start their new life

together, to live and love each other forever.

Let us all stand as we sing our entrance hymn.

OPENING SONG

Priest : In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of The Holy Spirit

All : Amen

Priest : The grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all

All : And also with you

Priest We, as a Christian community, are gathered here today in a very special

way and joyful celebration, for two people who are very much in

love with each other, are to be united as one in marriage.

Let us thank God for bringing ANTHONY and MACY together in love,

and let us pray to Him that He may bless and consecrate their lives

together in the Holy Sacrament of Marriage. So, let our presence here

be of one faith and prayer-faith and trust in Gods promises, and prayer

for ANTHONY and MACY so that they may freely and lovingly take

upon themselves the tasks which God had entrusted to them, and may

their lives be a true symbol of Christs love for His Church.

Penitential Rite

Priest : My brothers and sisters, as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the mystery

of Christs love, let us now acknowledge our failures and ask the Lord

for pardon and strength.

All : I CONFESS TO ALMIGHTY GOD, AND TO YOU, MY BROTHERS

FAULT, IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY WORDS, IN WHAT I

HAVE DONE, AND IN WHAT I HAVE FAILED TO DO, AND I

ASK BLESSED MARY, EVER VIRGIN, ALL THE ANGELS AND

SAINTS, AND YOU, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, TO PRAY

FOR ME TO THE LORD OUR GOD.

Priest: May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us

to everlasting life.

All: Amen

Choir : LORD HAVE MERCY

Priest : Glory to God in the Highest

OpeningPrayer

Priest : Let us pray

Loving Father, when you created mankind you willed that man and

woman should be one. Hear our prayers for ANTHONY and MACY to

bind them in the loving union for marriage, and make their love fruitful

so they may make living witness to your Divine Love. We asks You this

through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You

and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.

All : Amen

Liturgy of the Word

Commentator : Let us all be seated and listen to the Word of God.

First Reading

Reader : A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

Set your hearts in the greater gifts, I will show you the way, which

surpasses all the others

If I speak with human tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love,

I am a nosy gong, a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of Prophecy and

with full knowledge, comprehend all the mysteries there are, and

knowing everything. If I have faith in all its fullness to move mountains,

but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess

8/3/2019 Miss a Let

7/23

piece by piece, and even if I let them take my body to burn, but am

without love, it will do me no good.

Love is patient and kind, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take,

offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure on other peoples sin

but delight in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope andto endure whatever comes.

Love does not come to an end.

The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God

ResponsorialPsalm

Second Reading

Reader : A reading from the Book of St. Paul to the Ephesians.

Since you are Gods dear children, you must try to be like Him. Your life

must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and gave his life for us

as sweet smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God.

Submit yourselves to one another because of your reverence for Christ.

Wives,submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord. For a

husbands has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the

church, and Church is himself the Savior of the Church, his body. And so

wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the

church submits itself to Christ.

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the Church and gave his

love for it. He did this to dedicate the church to God by his word, after

making it clean by washing it in water, in order to present the church to

himself in all its beauty- pure and faultless, without spot or wrinkle or

any other imperfection. Men ought to love their wives just as they love

their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself. No one ever

hates his own body. Instead, he feels it and takes care of it, just as Christ

does the Church, for we are members of his body.

As the scriptures says : FOR THIS REASON A MAN WILL LEAVE

HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND UNITE WITH HIS WIFE, AND

THE TWO WILL BECOME ONE.. There is a deep secret truth

revealed in this scripture , which I understand as applying to Christ and

8/3/2019 Miss a Let

the Church, But it also applies to you: every husband must love his wife

as himself, and every wife must respect her husband.

The Word of the Lord.

All : Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

Commentator : Please stand to honor the Holy Gospel

Choir :

Priest : The Lord be with you.


Priest : A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.

Gospel Reading

Priest : I am the vine and you are the branches. As long as you remain in me, and

I in you, you bear much fruit but apart from me, you can do nothing,

whoever does not remain in me is like a branch that is thrown into thefire and burned.

If you remain in me, my words in you, you may ask whatever you want

and it will be givem to you. My father is glorified when you become my

disciples that are when you bear much fruit. As the father has loved me,

so I have loved you. Live on in my love. You will live in my love if you

keep my commandments, even as I have kept my Fathers

commandments and live in His love.

I have told you this, that my own joy may be in you and your joy may be

complete. This is my commandment, Love one another as I have lovedyou. There is no greater love than this, to lay down ones life for ones

friends.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

All : Praise to you, O, Lord, Jesus Christ

Word. The flame is the symbol of Christ who is the light of the world

and of Gods presence from whom alone we can obtain abiding light and

warmth, wisdom and love, hope and life, now and forever.

( The choir sings, You Are The Light as the candle sponsor lights the Bridal candle)

We pray that Christs radiance will always shine on ANTHONY and

MACY and bring direction to horizons of unlimited trust and

understanding especially in times of doubts and trails, to assume fully the

duties of marriage in mutual love and lasting fidelity.

Commentator : May we request the parents of ANTHONY and MACY as well as the

principal sponsors who will act as witnesses to come forward and to

stand beside the groom and the bride for the blessing of the Sacrament ofMatrimony.

Allocution

Priest : Dearly beloved ANTHONY and MACY, you have left home and the

world of your childhood. You are now migrating into new world, a new

life. A life time together will be too short to explore its meaning. These

meaning will slowly unfold to you and the unfolding begins as you now

make your promise to each other.

You have come to ask God to strengthen and seal your love with eternalbond before the church. He who has consecrated you in baptism and

confirmation will now enrich you in the Holy Sacrament of Marriage,

that you may assume the duties of married life in mutual and everlasting

fidelity.
