Transcription:
And because these words involve such solemn vows as these, it is most fitting that to risk the security of unwed life upon the great risk of love's self-sacrifice. And so to begin your married life by the voluntary and complete surrender of your individual lives in the interest of that deeper and wider life which you are to have in common. Henceforth you will have value in each other. You will be one in mind, one in heart, and one in the senses. Whatever sacrifice you may be asked or be required to make to preserve this common life always make them generously. Sacrifice can be made to seem irksome but love can make it easy. And perfect love can make it a joy. We are willing to give in proportion to love. And when love is perfect a sacrifice is complete. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son ... for our salvation. Greater love than this no man has. That a man lay down his life for his friends.
No greater blessing can come to your married life than with pure conjugal love, loyal and true to the end. May then this love with which you join your hands and hearts today never fail but grow deeper and stronger as the years go on. And with true love being unselfish and a perfect sacrifice guide your every action you can expect the greatest measure of perfect happiness that may be allotted to man in this gated? theatre. The rest is in the hands of God as you kneel before him?
