The Prayer for Premarital Sex
From the 2006 Blue Book -- this trial prayer has now been coined "The Prayer for Premarital Sex" by one of our clerical deputies! Is anyone else stunned that this offering was tucked away among the prayers for young adult transitions?
For Godly Expression of One’s Sexuality
O God, you have made us in your image and called us to the joys of human love. That love, the sign and seal of your own love for each of us, is shown through companionship and caring, and, powerfully and mysteriously, through the mystery of godly sexual expression shared with each other. This young person, N., is opening his heart to learn the wideness of love. As he strives to discover who he is, whose he is, and the person he is given to love, may he be guided, protected, and encouraged by you, O Love Incarnate. Give him wisdom in choosing, courage in loving, and patience in waiting for the marvelous truth of his life to unfold in your grace, most holy and undivided Trinity, alive through all the ages. Amen.
