The dawn on the mountain
We partipate in a matrimonial scene, with the ring as the object. The ring that tells us of belonging. It takes hold of the finger and the arm of the person.
The ring on the wedding day
Prayer to the Father
Heavenly Father, you have given me your Daughter as my Spouse, and you have commanded me to love her with all my heart: “Thou shalt love they God and thy neightbour for God’s sake, as thyself” (Mt 22,37-38; Mk 12:30-31). God and neighbours form one moral body which is your Church. The Church is my Beloved, I am her slave, because love is the bond which captivates the lovers; in fulfilling your commandment I am slave of your Church; at the same time she is my slave by loving me. Give me, my Father, a sign which symbolises our bondage.
