Traditional Catholic morning prayer (Apostleship of Prayer, 19th century)
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer thee my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of thy Sacred Heart, and in a particular way for the graces of this our wedding day. Amen.
Matthew 6:9–13 (Douay-Rheims)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
John 2:1–2 (Douay-Rheims) — a scripture to pray with on the wedding morning
And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. — Ask, in prayer, that Christ and His Mother be truly present at your own wedding, as they were at Cana.
Tobit 8:5–8 (Douay-Rheims)
Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever. Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, and gavest him Eve for a helper. And now, Lord, thou knowest that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever. Amen.
Luke 1:46–49 (Douay-Rheims) — Mary's prayer of thanksgiving
My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name.
Traditional Catholic prayer to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we consecrate to you today our engagement, our wedding day, and every day of the household we begin. Bless our home. Keep our love faithful, patient, and pure. Grant us the grace to receive whatever children God may send us. Watch over us in every joy and every sorrow, and lead us at the last, together, to the everlasting wedding feast of the Lamb. Amen.
