The Church of England has today posted a prayer on its website
for
Prince William and Catherine Middleton and all couples preparing
for
their wedding. It can be used in private prayer, in groups or
within
public worship
The prayer joins one provided for schools and young children
already
published at
http://churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/topical-prayers.aspx#royalweddingschools.
The new prayer
God of all grace,
friend and companion,
look in favour on William and Catherine
and all who are made one in marriage.
In your love deepen their love
and strengthen their wills
to keep the promises they will make,
that they may continue
in life-long faithfulness to each other;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
