新郎的祈禱

取材自 多8:5-7

我們祖宗的天主,你是應受讚美的!你的名號是世世代代應受頌揚的。諸天及你的一切造物,都應讚頌你於無窮之世。

是你造了亞當,是你造了厄娃作他的妻子,作他的輔助和依靠,好從他們二人傳生人類。你曾說過:一人獨處不好,我要給他造個相稱的助手。

現在我娶 (名字),是出自純正的意向。求你憐憫我和她,賜我們白頭偕老。

Prayer of a Future Husband

ADAPTED FROM TOBIT 8:5-7

Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors,

and blessed too is your name forever.

Let the heavens bless you for evermore

and all the things you have made.

It was you who created Adam,

you who created Eve his wife to be his help and support;

and from these two the human race was born.

It was you who said,

“It is not good for the man to be alone;

let us make him a partner like himself.”

I take N.

in sincerity of heart.

Have mercy on her and on me

and allow us to live together to a happy old age.
