This is the word of God.
All: Thanks be to God.
Third Reading: Mark 10: 6-9
Read by Father Jack McDermott
From the beginning of creation God made them male and female. This is why a man leaves father and mother, and the two become one body. They are no longer two, therefore, but one body. So then, what God has united, man must not divide. This is the gospel of the Lord.
Homily: Father Jack McDermott
The Rite of Marriage
Father McDermott: Stacia and Jason, you have come together in the presence of God's ministers and this community so that God may seal and strengthen your love. He abundantly blesses this love. He enriches and strengthens you so that you may assume the duties of marriage in mutual and lasting fidelity. And so, in the presence of this assembly, I ask you to state your intentions.
Stacia and Jason, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage?
