That all who are preparing for marriage may take the time and effort needed to know each other well and to respond generously to God’s call to raise a family, we pray to the Lord…

For all who have died, especially Florence Brown and Karen Salamone (and ___________________________________), may they be welcomed into the eternal life Christ has prepared for us, we pray to the Lord…
CELEBRANT:
Lord,
In your Providence, you know all our needs,

As the one in whom those needs are met.
Hear our prayers, and give us joy and peace in your presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
