The Blessing and Giving of Rings

Fr. Jeff: May the Lord bless  these rings,
which you will give to each other
as the sign of love and fidelity.
All: Amen.

(Thomas places a ring on Victoria’s finger)

Thomas: Victoria, I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage:
with my body I honour you,
all that I am I give to you,
and all that I have I share with you,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen.

(Victoria places a ring on Thomas’s finger)

Victoria: Thomas, I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage:
with my body I honour you,
all that I am I give to you,
and all that I have I share with you,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen.
