* Gospel:  Christ being the foundation of your marriage.  It was through your charitable works of mercy, at Camp Kesem that you each met.   Marriage is about self-giving.    Holy Spirit/Kids

In the Second reading: Corinthians. A recipe of Love.   3 parts: Why I’m nothing without it; What it is and isn’t; What it does.    Endures all things.

Only Sacrament on a relationship.   Sacramentalized the bond.  Ex-pier-ential. You have to go thru them together, with Christ.

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous,  is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. 

It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Tobit. Love this book. Love the Prayer.

a little about the story. Its the story of two families coming together.  A son, Tobiah and his bride Sarah. Its a journey. They have a guiding angel and they have fish that the angel instructs them to use to heal various people along the way. 

Sarah, has had the misfortune of having every fiancé die on her wedding night. 

The end says “Lord, look down on us, Lauren and Riley, as we have sincerity in our love for you and each other.  Give us the graces to live together to a happy old age”

There are not many opportunities in life, where you get to celebrate looking forward, with all your friends and family, at something that you will look back at in, God willing, year 2071, 50 years from now as the best decision you ever made.  You will look at it with Awe and Gratitude

Tobit:  Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine not with 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. 

They said together, “Amen, amen!”
