Let us pray that He may bless and consecrate their commitment to each other and that CAMILO & SALLY may freely and lovingly take upon them the task the Lord has entrusted to them, to live for each other and their future children, their family, their relatives and friends on their road through life to God.

Second Reading
Reader : A reading from the first 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, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or 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 no 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 loved, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on sins, it is not snobbish. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not prone to anger, and neither does it brood over injuries. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong, but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to loves forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure. Love never fails. This is the Word of the Lord. All Reader : Thanks be to God. : Let us pray. Please rise to honor the Holy Gospel.

Live on with my love. You will live in my love if you keep my commandments, even as I have kept my Fathers commandments and live in His love. All this I tell you so that my joy maybe
yours and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you. This is the Gospel of the Lord. All : Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ!

Preface
Priest All Priest All Priest All Priest : The Lord be with you! : And also with you! : Lift up your hearts. : We lift them up to the Lord. : Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. : It is right to give Him thanks and praise. : Father, all powerful and ever living God, we do will always and everywhere give You thanks. By this Sacrament, Your grace unifies man and woman in an unbreakable bond of love and peace. You have designed the chaste love of husband and wife for the increase of the human family and of Your family born in baptism. You are the loving Father of the world of nature. You are the loving Father of the new creation of grace. In Christian marriage You bring together the two orders of creation, natures gift of children enriches the world and Your grace also enriches the Church. Through Christ, the choir of angels and all the Saints praise and worship Your glory. May our voices blend with theirs as we join in their unending hymn. Choir : Holy, Holy (To Be Sung)

Eucharistic Prayer II
Priest : Lord, You are Holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness. Let Your Spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Before He was given up to death, the death He freely accepted, He took the bread and give You thanks. He broke the bread, gave it to His disciples and said: TAKE THIS ALL OF YOU AND EAT IT. THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. When supper was ended, He took the cup. Again, He gave You thanks and praise, gave the cup to His disciples and said: TAKE THIS ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT. THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD. THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT. IT WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR ALL MEN SO THAT SINS MAY BE FORGIVEN. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. Priest Choir Priest : Let us proclaim the Mystery of Faith. : Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ will come again. (to be sung) : In memory of His death and resurrection, we offer You, Father, this life-giving bread, this saving cup. We
thank You for counting us worthy to stand in Your presence and serve You. May all of us who share in the Body and Blood of Christ, be brought together in unity by the Holy Spirit. Lord, remember Your Church throughout the world, make us grow in love together with Benedict, our Pope, our bishop and all our clergy. Remember our brothers and sisters who have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again. Bring them and all the departed into the light of Your presence. Have mercy on us all. Make us worthy to share eternal life with Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, with the Apostles and with all the Saints who have done Your will throughput the ages. May we praise You in union with them and give You glory through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
