The Liturgy of the Word First Reading A reading from the Book of Tobit;
Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no loneliness, for each of you will be a companion to the other. Now you are two bodies but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your togetherness and may your days be good and long upon the earth. This is the word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God
Re sponsorial psalm
Second Reading A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians Love is always patient and kind; Love is not jealous or envious, Never boastful or proud, never rude or selfish. Love does not demand its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in the truth If you love someone, you will be loyal to them no matter what the cost. You will always believe them, and always stand your ground defending them. All the gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever. This is the word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God

Jesus said to his disciples: As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Fathers commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete. This is my commandment: love one another, as I loved you. This is the Gospel of the Lord. All: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Bidding Prayers
Fr. Slingo: In the love of man and wife, God shows us a wonderful reflection of his own eternal love. Today Maria and Ian have dedicated themselves to one another in unending love. They will share with another all that life brings. Let us ask God to bless them in the years ahead, and to be with them in all the circumstances of their marriage. Christ is present to Maria and Ian in this Sacrament of Matrimony. We pray that he will continue to make his presence felt throughout their lives. Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us. May the grace given to Maria and Ian in this Sacrament of Matrimony be always active in them. May it inspire them when life seems dull and strengthen them in times of trial. May it give them understanding in moments of tension, and fill them with gratitude when all goes well. Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
