Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

I Carry Your Heart with Me

Wedding Ceremony Poems, Readings & Blessings

 poem by EE Cummings:

i carry your heart with me,

i carry it in my heart

i am never without it

anywhere i go you go, my dear;

and whatever is done by only me

is your doing, my darling

i fear, no fate

for you are my fate,  my sweet

i want no world,

for beautiful you are my world,    my true

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

 i carry your heart – i carry it in my heart

“Looking For Your Face”, by Rumi

“From the beginning of my life I have been looking for your face, but today I have seen it. Today I have seen the charm, the beauty, the unfathomable grace of the face that I was looking for. Today I have found you, and those who laughed and scorned me yesterday are sorry that they were not looking as I did. I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty, and wish to see you with a hundred eyes. My heart has burned with passion and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty that I now behold. I am ashamed to call this love human, and afraid of God to call it divine. Your fragrant breath, like the morning breeze, has come to the stillness of the garden. You have breathed new life into me. I have become your sunshine, and also your shadow. My soul is screaming in ecstasy. Every fiber of my being is in love with you. Your effulgence has lit a fire in my heart, and you have made radiant for me the earth and sky. My arrow of love has arrived at the target. I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.”

Genesis  Adam & Eve

Below is a reading from Genesis Adam & Eve.  If you have any questions or need a Wedding Officiant for your wedding ceremony.    Contact St Louis Wedding Chapel  314-472-5017

Marriage is the the 1st Institution ordained by God                                                 

Before there was even a Church

After God Created the Heavens and the Earth

He created Man in His Own Image.

He said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.

I will make a suitable helper & companion for him.”

So God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs

Then the LORD God made a companion from the rib That he had taken from the man,   And then he brought her to the man.

The man said,       “This is now bone of my bones                                                                   and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called ‘woman,’

for she was taken out of man.”

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

and they will become one flesh.

Now this is the word of our Lord
