We acknowledge the Unity of all within the sovereignty of God,
expressing our appreciation for this wine, symbol and aid of our
rejoicing.
We acknowledge the Unity of all within the sovereignty of God,
realizing that each separate moment and every distinct object
points to and shares in this oneness.
We acknowledge the Unity of all within the sovereignty of God,
recognizing and appreciating the blessing of being human.
We acknowledge the Unity of all within the sovereignty of God,
realizing the special gift of awareness that permits us to
perceive this unity
and the wonder we experience as a man and a woman joined to live together.
May rejoicing resound throughout the world as the homeless are
given homes,
persecution and oppression cease, and all people learn to live
in peace with each other
and in harmony with their environment.
From the Divine, source of all energy, we call forth an
abundance of love to envelop this couple.
May they be for each other lovers and friends, and may their
love partake of the same innocence,
purity, and sense of discovery that we imagine the first couple
to have experienced.
We acknowledge the Unity of all within the sovereignty of God,
and we highlight today joy and gladness,
bridegroom and bride, delight and cheer, love and harmony, peace
and companionship.
May we all witness the day when the dominant sounds through the
world will be these sounds of happiness,
the voices of lovers, the sounds of feasting and singing.
Praised is love; blessed be this marriage. May the bride and
bridegroom rejoice together." |
