New Rite of Matrimony

I see the new translation of the marriage rite is on its way.  OSV has an interesting article on it. There are a few changes (I must check to see if they apply to Ireland also) including the optional use of the lazo during the nuptial blessing - a veil which is held over the heads of the newly married couple. While it has its origins in Hispanic communities, it sounds very Jewish, it reminds me of the wedding canopy which I always thought is a lovely practice. I'm not too keen on the dropping of the Penitential Rite.

One change the US bishops requested has not been included - a change in the entrance procession. I think their suggestion has merit, it reiterates the liturgical nature of the marriage ceremony. Personally I would change the procession at the start, instead of the bride coming up on the arm of her father, I think the couple should meet at the door of the Church and process to the altar together to gather before the Lord for their marriage ceremony. At the moment, I think, the bridal procession puts a little too much emphasis on the bride, hence the now common belief that it is "her day" when in reality it is not - it is about bride, groom and God.

Anyway, most people would not agree with me there I'm sure, but I'm just putting it out there. We shall see what the new rite is like. I hope it will be available online to allow easy access for couples preparing for the marriage ceremony.

Another thing I have noticed recently is the proliferation of alternative texts for readings. I have had a few couples come, quite innocently, with texts which they were told were readings from Scripture but were not. I recently had a case where a native-American blessing was being passed off as an extract from Tobit - one couple apparently used it at their wedding ceremony. The couple I was working with were stunned to discover it wasn't Scripture and had no problem changing it. I have also noticed that reworked pieces of Scripture are also being passed off as the real thing. So couples and priests have to be wary. The new rite will, I hope, get us back on track. Here is a website with some extracts.

  5. Hello friends, I hope you are in good health and I wish you happiness in life because without that life will be miserable. I want to use this opportunity to give thanks to Dr Ajayi for restoring peace in my matrimonial home. Dr Ajayi is a spell caster gifted by his great ancestors. My husband have been cruel to me and our kids for about a year now, to be honest it felt like hell with him then. I really don't know what we did to be treated the way he does to us, in a blink of eyes my husband turns to a stranger to his own family and stops being the once loving and caring man he use to be all this started when he traveled to Italy and since then he has been to and fro Italy more than a dozen times within a year I ask him what the problem was but got no positive response from him, things was really tough for me so I went out seeking for help and advice on what to do to rescue my staggering marriage and luckily for me I was going through online news and saw a testimony of a lady on how Dr Ajayi have helped her with her marriage using his spell power given to him by his ancestors, I was skeptical about this but decided to give it a try, I contacted him and gave him some details about myself and husband, while doing this my husband was in Italy on his numerous random trips there.Dr Ajayi told me to wipe my tears that everything will soon be back to normal and I will have any reason to be sad again because of my husband, I was told to do some certain things at home to And I did as told, to my greatest surprise after about two day and husband came back from Italy but this time notice good changes in him. He knelt and begs for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him and why he has been treating me and the kids in a cruel manner I was very happy to get my man back and ever since then we have been living a happy life filled with love. All thanks to great spell caster Dr Ajayi, if you are having issues in your marriage or relationship and want your divorce wife or husband back don't let fear hold you back contact Dr Ajayi on his WhatsApp :+2347084887094 or Email : Drajayi1990@gmail.com

  6. What a wonderful and a straight forward spell caster that has brought back joy and happiness into my life! Am giving this testimony because am so happy, I want to thank Dr. Osasu for the great thing He has done in my life , He brought happiness back to my life, I never believed in spell casters until my life fell apart when my lover of 6 years decided to call it quit almost when we wanted to get married. I was so emotional breakdown to the extent i could not do anything reasonable again, after 2months in pain before an old friend of mine introduced me to a spell caster on line called Dr Osasu, this was after I have been scammed by various fake spell casters. I was introduced me to Dr Osasu a true Spell Caster. In less than 24 hours i saw wonders, my lover came back to me and my life got back just like a completed puzzle, and after 1month later we got married and it was just like a dream to me because i thought i had lost him forever. Thank you Dr. Osasu for helping me but most of all, Your Honesty and Fast Accurate Results. email: Drosasu25@gmail.com WhatsApp Number: +2347064365391

I do believe that someday i will win the Powerball lottery. finally my dreams came through when i contacted Dr. OSE and tell him i needed the lottery winning special numbers cause i have come a long way spending money on ticket just to make sure i win. But i never knew that winning was so easy with the help of Dr. OSE, until the day i meant the spell caster testimony online, which a lot of people has talked about that he is very powerful and has great powers in casting lottery spell, so i decided to give it a try. I emailed Dr. OSE and he did a spell and gave me the winning lottery special numbers 62, and co-incidentally I have be playing this same number for the past 23years without any winning, But believe me when I play the special number 62 this time and the draws were out i was the mega winner because the special 62 matched all five white-ball numbers as well as the Powerball, in the April 4 drawing to win the $70 million jackpot prize...… Dr. OSE, truly you are the best, with Dr. OSE you can will millions of money through lottery. i am a living testimony and so very happy i meant him, and i will forever be grateful to him...… you can Email him for your own winning special lottery numbers now oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATSAPP him +2348136482342
