A marriage reading in weddings from Tobit: Thursday, June 8th, 2017

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

Tobit

·      Read it!

·      While it was a longer reading, it had snippets through three chapters

·      One of the best moments is that Tobit and Sarah were married

A wonderful reading for marriages

·      "My love, get up.
Let us pray and beg our Lord to have mercy on us
and to grant us deliverance."

·      "Blessed are you, O God of our fathers,
praised be your name forever and ever.
Let the heavens and all your creation”
praise you forever.

·      “Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine
not because of lust,
but for a noble purpose.
Call down your mercy on me and on her,
and allow us to live together to a happy old age.”
