Prayer
of Benediction and Blessing
for a Same-Sex Wedding
Originally printed in 1647
Lord
our God, who has granted us all things for salvation, and who has commanded
us to love one another and to forgive each others' transgressions; now
You Yourself, Ruler and Lover of humankind, to these Your servants who
have loved each other with spiritual love, and who approach Your holy
presence to be blessed by You, grant to them a faith unashamed, a love
unfeigned. And as You gave Your holy disciples Your own peace, also
grant these all the petitions for salvation, and eternal life. For You
are a merciful and loving God, and to You we ascribe glory, to the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
[The
couple kisses.]
