We have just one Bridegroom and he is passionate about us, every little detail about our hearts, minds, bodies, and lives. He is never inattentive, he adores us with passionate devotion. There will never be a greater gift than to love him with our innocence, our gratitude, our blood and skin. To be the bride he deserves.

O God our Father,
you invite us to pray,
and you grant what we ask,
when we ask according to your will.
Hear me as I tremble in this darkness,
and stretch forth your hand to me.
Shine your light before me.
Recall me from my wanderings.
With you as my Guide,
restore me to myself and to you;
through Jesus Christ. Amen.

-St Augustine of Hippo
