 Marriage

Because in the love of wife and husband, thou hast given us an image of the heavenly Jerusalem, adorned as a bride for  her bridegroom, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who loveth  her and gave himself for her, that he might make the whole  creation new.

Commemoration of the Dead

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who rose victorious from the dead, and doth comfort us with the blessed hope of  everlasting life; for to thy faithful people, O Lord, life is  changed, not ended; and when our mortal body doth lie in  death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the  heavens.
