Today Crystal Kernan and Kyle Price are joined together as husband and wife. The Bride and Groom reside in Surprise, Arizona, and are familiar faces here at our parish, as they have attended the Sunday Masses on innumerable occasions. Their marriage and nuptial mass takes place this afternoon. Please keep them in your prayers this day. Pray also for those who travel to Sedona for this holy event.
And to the two of you - Crystal and Kyle - congratulations, and may God constantly bless and strengthen the marriage vows you make this day in His most Holy Church!
O GOD, who hast so consecrated the state of Matrimony that in it is represented the spiritual marriage and unity betwixt Christ and his Church; Look mercifully upon these thy servants, Crystal and Kyle, that they may love, honour, and cherish each other, and so live together in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that their home may be a haven of blessing and of peace; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
Those whom God hath joined together
let no man put asunder.
