sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have

done and in what I have failed to do,

(We strike our breast during the next two lines)

grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,

The Nuptial Mass

Opening Prayer

P: Let us pray,Father, you have made the bond of marriage a holy

mystery, a symbol of Christ’s love for his Church.

Hear our prayers forArnoldand Jelly, with faith in you

and in each other they pledge their love today.

May their lives always bear witness to the reality of that

love.

We ask you this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one

God, forever and ever.

C/All:AMEN.

C: Please be seated to listen to the Word of God.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING(1 Cor:12:31-13:8)

R: A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians

Set your hearts on the greater gifts. I will show you the way which

surpasses all the others. If I speak with human tongues and

angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging

cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge,

comprehend all mysteries, if I have faith great enough to move

mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give everything I

have to feed the poor and hand over my body to be burned, but

have not love, I gain nothing.

3



The Nuptial Mass

Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on

airs, it is not snobbish. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it

is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries. Lovedoes not rejoice in what is wrong but rejoices with the truth. There

is no limit to love's forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to

endure.

Love never fails.

R: The Word of the Lord.

C/All:THANKS BE TO GOD.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM(Psalm 33:5, 12, 18, 20-21, 22)

“The earth is filled with the goodness of the Lord”

R: Happy the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he

has chosen for his own inheritance. But see, the eyes of the

Lord are upon those who fear him, upon those who hope

for his kindness.Response.

R: Our soul waits for the Lord, who is our help and shield.

For in him our hearts rejoice; in his holy name we trust.

Response.

R: May your kindness, O Lord, be upon us who have put our

hope in you.Response.

C: Please rise to honor the Holy Gospel

in his love.
