Ruth 3:9

​“Who are you?” he asked. “It’s Ruth, sir,” she answered. “Because you are a close relative, you are responsible for taking care of me. So please marry me.”

 

Quote 

D. Bonhoeffer from ‘Life Together’ ‘Worldly wisdom …does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. 

​Living God,

As followers of Jesus Christ

we pray with generous thanks

for all those committing themselves to marriage today 

anywhere in the world.

We pray they will be 

faithful, 

honest,

forgiving,

supportive 

and loving

so human society will be strengthen by the vows they make.

We pray for those who have pledged love in the past,

may find it deepened today, 

so that our global life together 

may be enhanced.
