Greetings

Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on

valentines, and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and
now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of
our favorite memories, and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a
promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can
flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this
mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all -- one known only by
those who love."
Now, let us join ARIES and AISA as they celebrate their love. We ask God for
His blessing during this ceremony and to especially fill the hearts of BRIDE and
GROOM as they pledge their love to one another.
May the wisdom and spirit of all-giving and all-understanding Love pervade all the
words spoken and all the love given here today, that these vows offered will
remain strong and true and abiding in the presence of God all the days of their
lives.
May all of us present feel the strength and depth of ARIES and AISAs love and
experience a rebirth of the power of love in our own lives.

begin this celebration by reminding ourselves that love must always
be a part of our lives and let us confess that we have not loved
enough

All

I confess to Almighty God, and to you my brothers and sisters,

that I have sinned through my own faults, in my thoughts, and
in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to
do. And I ask the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the angels and
saints and to you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the
Lord our God.

May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring
us to everlasting life.

All

Commentator : Please be seated for the Liturgy of the Word

Everyone sits down for the First Reading.

Liturgy of the Word

First Reading
Reader :

A reading from the Song of Songs:

Hark! My Lover! Here he comes springing across
the mountains, leaping across the hills. My lover is like a
gazelle or a young stag. Here he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the window, peering through the lattices.
My lover speaks. He says to me, Arise. My beloved, my
beautiful one and come! O my love in the clefts of the
rocks, in the secret recesses of the cliff. Let me see you,
let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet and you are
lovely. My lover belongs to me and I to Him. He said to
me, Set me as a seal in your heart, as a seal on your arm.
For storm as death is love, relentless as the netherworld as
devotion, its flames are a blazing fire. Deep waters cannot
quench love nor flood sweep it away
This is the Word of the Lord.

All

: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm
Reader :

Let our response be: I will bless the Lord at all times
(Please Repeat)

All :

I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES.

Reader :

All :

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall ever be in my
mouth. My soul will glorify in the Lord that the poor may hear and
be glad.
I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES.

Reader :

Glorify the Lord with me. Let us exalt His name together. I sought
the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from all our fears.
All :

I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES.

Reader :

Look to God that you may be radiant with joy, and your faces may
not blush with shame. When the afflicted man called out, the Lord
heard, and from all his distress He saved him.

All :

I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES.

Reader :

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and
delivers them. Taste and see how good the Lord is, happy the man
who takes refuge in Him.

All :

I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES.

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 not limit
to loves forbearance, to its trust, its hope , its power to endure. Love
never fails.
This is the word of the Lord.

All :

Thanks be to God
