NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 6/27

I just read, Lord, that:

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 

        may marry soon;

    that the event might take place 

        in Madison Square Garden;

    that guests must sign an NDA 

        regards the ceremony's details;

    that this will be

        "the wedding of the century..."

 

Well, Lord,

    I'd like to nominate some other couples

        for the title of "wedding of the century..."

 

I'd like to nominate couples 

    getting married in Ukraine:

couples who promise

    for better or for worse,

    for richer, for poorer,

    in sickness and in health, 

to faithfully love and cherish each other

    in a union that only death may part... 

 

I nominate couples who marry in Ukraine

    and couples  everywhere who marry

         in the shadows of terror and war... 

  

I nominate all those couples 

    whose vows embody a living faith

        our world so desperately needs; 

    whose promises speak an enduring hope

        our world has squandered and lost;

    whose given word unveils a love

        revealing your presence among us... 

 

Such are the "weddings of the century," Lord, 

    disclosing for all to see

that in the end, faith hope and love

    are the gifts that all of us need

and not only then, but even now

    - and especially now - 

            the greatest of these is love...

 

Protect us, Lord while we're awake

    and watch over us while we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen. 

 

The Greatest of These

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love, I am just noise. 
And if I have the gift of prophecy,
and know all knowledge, have all faith,
understand all mysteries, 
or remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. 

If I give all I have to feed the poor, 
but have not love, 

nothing is gained. 

Love is patient, love is kind, 

Love is patient, love is kind,
love does not brag; and is not arrogant. 
Love is not proud, boastful or rude. 
Love does not seek its own. 

Love rejoices in the truth.

Love rejoices in the truth.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love bears all things, bears all things,
believes all things, believes all things,
Love hopes all things, Love hopes all things,
endures all things. 

These three remain; faith, hope, and love. 
But the greatest of these is love. 
The greatest of these is love.
The greatest of these is love.
