   Dearly beloved, you have come together into the house of the Church,
   so that in the presence of the Church’s minister and the community
   your intention to enter into Marriage may be strengthened by the Lord
   with a sacred seal. Christ abundantly blesses the love that binds
   you. Through a special Sacrament, he enriches and strengthens those he
   has already consecrated by Holy Baptism, that they may be faithful to
   each other for ever and assume all the responsibilities of married
   life. And so, in the presence of the Church, I ask you to state your
   intentions.}
