Dedication of Newly Married Couple to the Precious Blood

Lord Jesus,

(on this happy day)

we thank you for the joy of N. and N.

Through all the years of their life

you have watched over them

to bring them together in holy Christian marriage.

Now Lord, bless them,

for they are united in love of you and of each other.

Redeemed by your Precious Blood

and strengthened by your grace,

may they live in kindness and fidelity,

in unfailing trust and love

so that their whole life may be pleasing to you.

Mary, who with Joseph

made a happy home at Nazareth for Jesus,

take these dear friends into your motherly care.

You who showed concern for a newly married couple at Cana,

help and guide N. and N.

May their union on earth lead to that eternal union

in which all the blessed will be joined together,

praising the Redeeming Blood of Jesus, the Lord.

Amen.
