[SIZE=15pt]All-Good and Merciful Lord, we know that any enduring happiness in our life dependeth upon our wholehearted love for Thee and upon our actions according to Thy holy will in all things; wherefore, direct their soul, O God, and fill their heart. They seek to please Thee alone, for Thou art our Creator and our God. Preserve them from pride and self-love. Let reason, modesty and chastity adorn them. Idleness is hateful unto Thee and breedeth vice; grant unto them the inclination to be fruitful in labour, and bless Thou their work.
Thy law commandeth that man and wife live in chaste matrimonial union; wherefore lead them, Holy Father, to this blessed calling not for the satisfaction of passions but unto the fulfilment of Thy commandment; for Thou hast said that it is not good that man should live alone and, having created woman as his helper, Thou blessest them to be fruitful and multiply that they may fill the earth.
Hear my humble prayer, which ascendeth unto Thee from the depths of my heart: Grant unto them an honest and pious spouse that, through their love and harmony, together they may praise Thee, our Compassionate God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.[/SIZE]
