Blog Post 5/28/2021 - Grace at a Special Wedding
Five years ago, I had the singular privilege of offering the Grace at Michael [my son] and Christine Kelly’s Wedding Reception [on May 28, 2016].
"Let us bow our heads and our hearts to ask God for His Blessing and, His Grace: Upon Christine and Michael, their parents, and siblings, and upon their family and friends here and those in heavens above! Lord Jesus, we ask for the courage to help those who have no friends or family.
We ask you to bless those who prepared our food this evening and those who will serve it. With a special love in our hearts, we ask God to bless this couple who married today. Christine and Michael: May your mornings bring joy, and your evenings bring peace.
May your troubles be few and your blessings many.
May your hands be forever clasped in friendship
And your hearts forever joined in love.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand, as He did today when you were united in Holy Matrimony.
May you be poor in misfortune and rich in holiness.
May you see your children's children.
May you share the special glimpse of God you have been given.
And May God’s love be the foundation of how you live and all you do!
Father, in heaven, we make these prayers through Your Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen!
May God Bless you, Christine and Michael today as you celebrate your love and your marriage. May the sun shine brightly upon you and when the rain falls upon you, hold each other closely with the Lord to guide you.
Ad Multos Annos.
Love,
Dad
