Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Now you will feel no rain,  –                                                                                                For each of you will be shelter to the other.

The Apache Wedding Blessing (long version)

Now you will feel no storms,                                                                                              for each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,                                                                                                 for each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no loneliness,                                                                                              for each of you is companion to the other,

Now you are two bodies,                                                                                                   But there is one life before you.

Turn together to look at the road you have traveled, to reach this point–                          -the hour of your happiness.

It stretches behind you into the past.

Now look to the future that lies ahead. A long and winding, adventure-filled road, whose every turn means new discovery, new hopes, new joys, new laughter, and a few shared tears.

May happiness be your companion,

May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead; And for all the years to come.

Go this day to your dwelling place and enter into your days together.

May your days be good and long upon this earth. Your adventure has just begun!
