O God, you have created us in love and saved us in mercy, and through the bond of marriage you have established the Cruz family and willed that it should become a sign of Christ's love for his people. Shower your blessing on this family gathered here in your name. Enable those who are joined by one love to support one another by their favor of spirit and devotion to prayer. Make them responsive to the needs of others and witnesses to the faith in all they say and do. In Your name we pray. Amen.
Heavenly Father, you have given us the model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O Loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace and joy reign. Teach us to be generous: to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor and not to ask for reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Amen.
O dear Jesus, we humbly implore You to grant Your special graces to the Reynolds family. May our homes be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. Come and fill our homes with your presence, You alone are worthy of our reverence. Lord we vow to live holy, bowing our knees to You only. These are our hopes and ideals. Help us to attain them, O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
