Apache Marriage Blessing
Cherokee Prayer
God in heaven above
please protect the ones we love.
We honor all you created as we pledge
our hearts and lives together.
We honor mother-earth
- and ask for our marriage to be abundant
and grow stronger through the seasons;
We honor fire
- and ask that our union be warm
and glowing with love in our hearts;
We honor wind
- and ask we sail though life
safe and calm as in our father's arms;
We honor water
- to clean and soothe our relationship
- that it may never thirsts for love;
With all the forces of the universe you created,
we pray for harmony and true happiness as we forever grow young
together.
Amen.

When
the wedding ceremony is nearing the end, some couples choose to have
certain prayers
read. And, of course, at the closing of the ceremony, the priest
will verbalize the Pronouncement of Marriage.
Here are some variations to these traditions.
Benediction Prayer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May your days and years to come be filled with the kind of integrity
and joy, that will enable you to live through those times ahead
which may be tough.
And may your affection for each other grow, thus enriching and
strengthening all of us.
************************************
Blessed are you, God, Creator of the Universe. Grant the love which
unites __________ and __________ may grow in abiding happiness. May
there be peace in their home, quietness and confidence in their
hearts. May they be sustained in their love by finding a place in
their hearts for all people in this world.
************************************
Go now in peace in love, and may these things touch your hearts, and
be with you through the days of your life together.
*******************************
May the blessing that rests upon all who love, rest also upon you,
and fill you with all spiritual grace. May the bond that unites you
ever be strengthened. May you so love and work together in the days
that are to come, that your lives will be enriched and ennobled by a
true and deepening union of mind and heart.
***********************************
This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad
in it.
If any person is in Christ, that person is a new creation; the old
has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and whoever
loves is born of God and knows God.
Whom, therefore, God has joined together, let no one put asunder.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine
upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance
upon you and give you peace, both now and forever. Amen.
The bride and groom kiss. |
