ENTRANCE RITE<br />

Jasmine: Christ said, “When two are gathered in my name, I shall be<br />

there.” These words of the Lord are most deeply felt and<br />

revered on special occasions such as this.<br />

Bridal Procession<br />

We are gathered this afternoon with much rejoicing and<br />

thanksgiving to witness <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong> pledge their love and<br />

commitment to each other before God and His people.<br />

As they enter this phase in their lives, we are invited to lift them<br />

up to the Lord daily, that each day may be full of experiences of<br />

faithfulness, hope and love.<br />

Let us all stand.<br />

Jasmine: As we begin the Eucharistic Celebration and Nuptial Rites for<br />

<strong>Aldous</strong> and <strong>Lhen</strong>, we remember with fondness our dearly<br />

departed loved ones, most especially Jay and Alice Sanga,<br />

<strong>Aldous</strong>’ parents, who may not be with us today but are blessing<br />

<strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong> in spirit as they begin their new life together.<br />

We would like to request Mr. Romeo Sanga and Mrs. Arceli dela<br />

Rosa to light the memorial candle to symbolize their brother<br />

and sister’s spiritual presence in this celebration.<br />

(Mr. Romeo Sanga and Mrs. Arceli dela Rosa go up and light<br />

the candle).<br />

Fr. Ed: I welcome you all who have come together this afternoon to<br />

celebrate the beginning of a new life to <strong>Aldous</strong> and <strong>Lhen</strong>. In the<br />

name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

Fr. Ed: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, our<br />

Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.<br />

All: And also with you.<br />

Fr. Ed: Dearly beloved, <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>, God is love and has, in a<br />

mysterious way, drawn you together in love. But He leaves you<br />

free to make that love grow or to let it wither and die. The Lord<br />

will help you continue with your love, if you do your share,<br />

when you stand to the commitment to love and honor one<br />

another in good times and in bad, in poverty and in plenty, in


sickness and in health, for better or for worse, in that covenant<br />

you are about to seal. Let us ask the Lord to bless <strong>Aldous</strong> &<br />

<strong>Lhen</strong> as they begin their journey throughout their life together<br />

in this Eucharistic celebration.<br />

PENITENTIAL RITE<br />

Fr. Ed: My brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves to celebrate the<br />

sacred mysteries, let us call to mind our sins and ask God for<br />

forgiveness.<br />

All: I confess to Almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters,<br />

that I have sinned through my fault, in my thoughts and in my<br />

words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do. And<br />

I ask the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the angels and saints,<br />

and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the Lord our<br />

God.<br />

Fr. Ed: May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and<br />

bring us to everlasting life.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord, have mercy.<br />

All: Lord, have mercy.<br />

Fr. Ed: Christ, have mercy.<br />

All: Christ, have mercy.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord, have mercy.<br />

All: Lord, have mercy.<br />

Gloria<br />

Fr. Ed: Glory to God in the highest<br />

All: And peace to His people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King,<br />

Almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks<br />

and we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only son of<br />

the Father, Lord God the Father; receive our prayer. For you<br />

alone are the Holy One, you are the Most High, Jesus Christ,<br />

with the Holy Spirit, in the Glory of God the Father. Amen.


Opening Prayer<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us pray.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

Father, you have made the bond of marriage a holy mystery,<br />

symbol of Christ’s love for his Church. Hear our prayers for<br />

<strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>. With faith in You and in each other, they<br />

pledge their love today. May their lives always bear witness to<br />

the reality of that love. We ask you this, through our Lord Jesus<br />

Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy<br />

Spirit, one God, forever and ever.<br />

Jasmine: Please be seated for the Liturgy of the Word.<br />

LITURGY OF THE WORD<br />

Jasmine: Marriage means a great sharing of selves. To pray together<br />

opens up a new and deeper level of sharing. To pray is to place<br />

our life in our Father’s hands. It is to listen to Him, to be open<br />

to His word, to respond willingly to His desires. We hear the<br />

reading of the prayer of Tobias and Sarah before their wedding<br />

night.<br />

First Reading<br />

Dia: A reading from the book of Tobit (8:4-9).<br />

Tobias rose from the bed, and said to Sarah, “Get up my sister!<br />

You and I must pray and petition our Lord to win his grace and<br />

his protection.” She stood up, and they began praying for<br />

protection, and this was how they began:<br />

“You are blessed, O God of our fathers; blessed, too, is your<br />

name forever and ever. Let the heaven bless you and all the<br />

things you have made forevermore.<br />

It was you who created Adam, you who created Eve his wife to<br />

be his help and support; and from these two the human race<br />

was born. It was you who said, “It is not good that the man<br />

should be alone; let us make him a helpmate like himself,” And<br />

so I do not take my sister for any lustful motive; I do it in<br />

singleness of heart. Be kind enough to have pity on her and on<br />

me and bring us to old age together.” And she said with him,<br />

“Amen.” Then they both went to sleep for the night.<br />

This is the Word of the Lord.


All: Thanks be to God.<br />

Responsorial Psalm<br />

Celine: Let our response be: “The earth is full of goodness of the Lord.<br />

“Please repeat.<br />

All: The earth is full of goodness of the Lord.<br />

Celine: They are happy, whose God is the Lord, the people He has<br />

chosen as His own. The Lord looks on those who revere Him, on<br />

those who hope in His love. (Response)<br />

All: The earth is full of goodness of the Lord.<br />

Celine: Our soul is waiting for the Lord; the Lord is our help and our<br />

shield. In Him, do our hearts find joy. We trust in His holy<br />

name. (Response)<br />

All: The earth is full of goodness of the Lord.<br />

Celine: May Your love be upon us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in<br />

You. (Response)<br />

All: The earth is full of goodness of the Lord.<br />

Second Reading<br />

Jasmine: Love gives and forgives, accepts and adjusts. Also among<br />

people who love one another dearly disagreements develop. If<br />

reconciliation follows quickly – never let the sun go down on<br />

your anger or climb into bed without making up – the healing<br />

goes beyond the hurt. Afterwards one reaches a deeper degree<br />

of acceptance, love and understanding.<br />

Tina: A reading from the epistle to the Colossians (3:12-17)<br />

You are God’s chosen race, his saints; he loves you, and you<br />

should be clothed in sincere compassion, in kindness and<br />

humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another;<br />

forgive each other as soon as a quarrel begins. The Lord has<br />

forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes,<br />

to keep them together and complete them put on love. And may<br />

the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this<br />

that you were called together as parts of one body. Always be<br />

thankful.<br />

Let the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with<br />

you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom.


With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and<br />

inspired songs to God;<br />

And never say or do anything except in the name of the Lord<br />

Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.<br />

This is the Word of the Lord.<br />

All: Thanks be to God.<br />

Alleluia - Acclamation<br />

Jasmine: Please rise to honor the Holy Gospel.<br />

Alleluia Verse (Sung)<br />

Jasmine: If we love one another, God will live in us in perfect love.<br />

All: Alleluia<br />

Gospel<br />

Fr. Ed: The Lord be with you.<br />

All: And also with you.<br />

Fr. Ed: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John (15:9-12)<br />

All: Glory to you, O Lord.<br />

Fr. Ed: Jesus said to His disciples:<br />

“As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my<br />

love.<br />

“If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love,<br />

just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in<br />

his love.<br />

“I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your<br />

joy be complete.<br />

“This is the commandment: love one another, as I have loved<br />

you.”<br />

This is the Gospel of the Lord.<br />

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.<br />

Jasmine: Please be seated for the homily.<br />

The Homily


RITE OF MARRIAGE<br />

Jasmine: We have now come to the Rite of Marriage. Please remain<br />

seated.<br />

Lighting of the <strong>Wedding</strong> Candles<br />

Jasmine: May we request the candle sponsors, Marlo and Katrina to light<br />

the candles.<br />

These candles are symbol of light, of wisdom and of love, of<br />

hope and of life. The flame is a symbol of God’s presence. From<br />

Him alone can we obtain abiding light, wisdom and love, hope<br />

and life, now and forever.<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us pray.<br />

Allocution<br />

Lord, you have given <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong> through your son, Jesus<br />

Christ, the gift of light that brightens their world. Bless their<br />

lives, which are symbolized by these candles so that they may<br />

lead to your love by their unique oneness and unconditional<br />

love.<br />

and strengthen your love in the presence of this community.<br />

already consecrated you in Baptism and now He enriches and<br />

strengthens you by this holy sacrament so that you may assume<br />

and fulfill the duties of matrimony in mutual and lasting<br />

fidelity. And so, in the presence of the church, I ask you to state<br />

your intentions.<br />

Holy Matrimony, please join your right hands and express<br />

freely your marriage vows you have personally made to one<br />

another.<br />

(<strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong> recite their personal vows)

Fr. Ed: And I, by the authority of the Church, calling on all those<br />

present here as witnesses, confirm and bless the bond of<br />

marriage which you have contracted. In the name of the Father,<br />

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

grace that in life you may love, honor and cherish each other in<br />

faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and holiness that in the<br />

age to come, you may have everlasting life.<br />

Jasmine: The couple’s guardians, parents and principal sponsors may<br />

now be seated.<br />

Blessing of the Arrhae and Rings<br />

Jasmine: May we now request the ring and arrhae bearers, Joshua and<br />

Jaydan, to please come forward for the blessing of the rings and<br />

arrhae.<br />

Our help is in the name of the Lord.<br />

All: He made heaven and earth.<br />

All: Amen<br />

material possessions which these arrhae symbolize so that they<br />

our Lord.<br />

Fr. Ed: Bless O Lord, these rings so that your servants <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong><br />

who wear them may ever live in mutual love and in unbroken<br />

loyalty. Through Christ Our Lord.<br />

<strong>Aldous</strong>: <strong>Lhen</strong>, I give you these arrhae as a pledge of my dedication to<br />

your welfare and that of our family. In the name of the Father,<br />

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.<br />

<strong>Lhen</strong>: And I accept them.<br />

Fr. Ed: My dear <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>, you have pledged love, fidelity and<br />

welfare to each other, and offered yourself together in marriage,<br />

to God and His church. I now pronounce you Husband and<br />

Wife.<br />

Let us now welcome the newly-married couple with warm<br />

round of applause.<br />

Lighting of the Unity Candle<br />

Jasmine: As a symbol of oneness in marriage and union with Christ,<br />

<strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong> will light the Unity Candle on the altar.<br />

May the flame of the Unity Candle remind them of God's<br />

presence in their married life. God alone is the source of light<br />

and warmth, wisdom and love, hope and life, now and forever.<br />

(<strong>Aldous</strong> and <strong>Lhen</strong> light the Unity Candle)

Fr. Ed: Dearly beloved, let us now pray for the Church and for our<br />

those who love them. Through Christ our Lord.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

Blessing of the Bible and Rosary<br />

Jasmine: May we request Francis and Miggy to please come forward with<br />

the bible and the rosary.<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us pray.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

(Blessing the Bible and Rosary) Lord, bless this Bible that Your<br />

word may give life to <strong>Aldous</strong> and <strong>Lhen</strong> and guide them to live<br />

Mother always put their marriage under the mantle of her<br />

maternal protection. We ask this through Christ our Lord.<br />

Veil and Cord Ceremony<br />

Jasmine: May we request the veil sponsors, Neil and Mary Jane, to please<br />

place the veil over <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>.<br />

The veil is a symbol of purity. In baptism, we were clothed with<br />

a white garment to symbolize the new life of purity to which the<br />

Lord has called us. <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>, you are now clothed anew<br />

with this veil as you begin your life as husband and wife.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord Jesus, we pray for <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>, may their love for each<br />

other remain purely and sustained. May your Holy Spirit<br />

descend upon themselves and their children.<br />

Jasmine: May we now request the cord sponsors, Jhon and Kathlyn, to<br />

please place the cord on <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong>.<br />

The cord is a symbol of unity. It reflects the bond between man<br />

and wife, a bond that shall never be broken.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord Jesus, we pray that the bond between <strong>Aldous</strong> & <strong>Lhen</strong> be<br />

strengthened over the years. May they grow in love for you and<br />

for one another with each passing day


LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST<br />

Jasmine: Please remain seated as we will now have the presentation of<br />

gifts.<br />

Offertory Procession<br />

Fr. Ed: Pray, dearly beloved, that our sacrifice may be acceptable to<br />

God, our loving and Almighty Father.<br />

All: May the Lord accept the sacrifice in our hands, for the praise<br />

and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His<br />

church.<br />

Jasmine: Please rise.<br />

Prayer over the Gifts<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord, accept our offering for this newly married couple, <strong>Aldous</strong><br />

& <strong>Lhen</strong>. By your love and providence, you have brought them<br />

together; now and bless them all the days of their married life.<br />

We ask this through Christ our Lord.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

The Eucharistic Prayer<br />

Fr. Ed: The Lord be with you.<br />

All: And also with you.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lift up your hands.<br />

All: We lift them up to the Lord.<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.<br />

All: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.<br />

Fr. Ed: Father, all powerful and ever living God, we do well always and<br />

everywhere to give you thanks. By this sacrament your grace<br />

unites man and woman in an unbreakable bond of love and<br />

peace.<br />

You have designed the chaste love of husband and wife for the<br />

increase both of the human family and your own family born in<br />

baptism.<br />

You are the loving Father of the world of nature; you are the<br />

loving Father of the new creation of grace. In Christian


marriage you bring together the two orders of creation: nature’s<br />

gift of children enriches the world and your grace enriches also<br />

your Church.<br />

Through Christ the choirs of angels and all the saints praise and<br />

worship your glory. May our voices blend with theirs as we join<br />

in their unending hymn:<br />

All: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of power and might.<br />

Heaven and earth are filled with your glory.<br />

Hosanna in the highest.<br />

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.<br />

Hossana in the highest.<br />

Jasmine: Please kneel for the consecration.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord, You are holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness. Let Your<br />

spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy, so that they<br />

may become for us the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus<br />

Christ.<br />

Before He was given up to death, a death He freely accepted, He<br />

took bread and gave you thanks. He broke the bread, gave it to<br />

His disciples, and said:<br />

“Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be<br />

given up for you.”<br />

When supper was ended, He took the cup. Again He gave you<br />

thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said:<br />

“Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my<br />

blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be<br />

shed for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven. Do<br />

this in memory of me.”<br />

Jasmine: Please rise.<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith.<br />

All: Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.<br />

Fr. Ed: In memory of His death and resurrection, we offer You, Father,<br />

this life-giving bread, this saving cup. We thank you for<br />

counting us worthy to stand in Your presence and serve You.<br />

May all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ, be<br />

brought together in unity by the Holy Spirit. Lord, remember<br />

Your church throughout the world; make us grow in love,


All: Amen<br />

together with Benedict XVI, our Pope, Gaudencio Rosales our<br />

Archbishop, and all the clergy. Remember our brothers and<br />

sisters who have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again;<br />

bring them and all the departed into the light of Your presence.<br />

Have mercy on us all; make us worthy to share eternal life with<br />

Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, with the apostles, and with all<br />

the saints, who have done Your will throughout the ages. May<br />

we praise You in union with them, and give You glory, through<br />

Your Son Jesus Christ.<br />

Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,<br />

all glory and honor is Yours, Almighty Father, for ever and ever.<br />

COMMUNION RITE<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the words our<br />

Savior taught us:<br />

All: The Lord’s Prayer (Sung).<br />

The Nuptial Blessing<br />

Fr. Ed: My dear friends, let us turn to the Lord and pray that he will<br />

bless with his grace <strong>Lhen</strong>, now married in Christ to <strong>Aldous</strong> and<br />

that through the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, He<br />

will unite in love the couple He has joined in this holy bond.<br />

Father, you have made the union of man and wife so holy a<br />

mystery that it symbolizes the marriage of Christ and his<br />

Church.<br />

Father, by your plan man and woman are united, and married<br />

life has been established as the one blessing that was not<br />

forfeited by original sin or washed away in the flood.<br />

Look with love upon this woman, your daughter, now joined to<br />

her husband in marriage. She asks for your blessing. Give her<br />

the grace of love and peace. May she always follow the example<br />

of the holy women whose praises are sung in the scriptures.<br />

May her husband put his trust in her and recognize that she is<br />

the equal and the heir with him to the life of grace. May he<br />

always honor her and love her as Christ loves His bride, the<br />

Church.


All: Amen<br />

Father, keep them always true to your commandments. Keep<br />

them faithful in marriage and let them be living examples of<br />

Christian life.<br />

Give them the strength which comes from the gospel so that<br />

they may be witnesses of Christ to others. Bless them with<br />

children and help them to be good parents. May they live to see<br />

their children’s children. And after a happy old age, grant them<br />

fullness of life with the saints in the kingdom of heaven.<br />

We ask this through Christ our Lord.<br />

Fr. Ed: Lord, Jesus Christ, You said to Your apostles: I leave you peace,<br />

My peace I give to you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of<br />

Your Church, and grant us the peace and unity of Your<br />

Kingdom, where You live for ever and ever.<br />

All: Amen.<br />

Fr. Ed: The peace of the Lord be with you always.<br />

All: And also with you.<br />

Fr. Ed: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.<br />

Prayer after Communion<br />

with one another and with you. As you have made <strong>Aldous</strong> &<br />

<strong>Lhen</strong> one in the Sacrament of Holy Marriage and in the sharing<br />

of one bread and one cup, so now make them one in love for<br />

each other. We ask this through Christ, our Lord.<br />
