Almighty Father,

We gather together today to celebrate the upcoming marriage of Mary and Joseph. We ask that You shine a special and holy blessing down upon them, and fill their marriage with Your Spirit of Divine Love - the kind of Love that lasts a lifetime. 

May their days be filled with great joy and happiness, as they set out on a journey, united as one, joined together in the Holy and Sacred Sacrament of Marriage. May their hearts overflow with love for one another - a love based on truth, trust, honesty, communication and understanding.

Bless this shower, Lord, as we, the friends and family of Mary and Joseph , help them prepare for this big day. As we break bread together, may the joy and happiness we share today be a beautiful memory to treasure for a lifetime.

Amen
