Knanaya Betrothal                                            419
                               wise, in worthlessness there is decay and dire poverty, for worth-
                               lessness is the mother of famine.

                               ALL:  Praise be to the Lord, our God.

                               CEL:  Good Lord, we praise your providence through your fore-
                               fathers. Make us grow respecting our elders. Let your providence
                               guide us as you had guided our forefathers. May the Lord who
                               has been faithful in his covenant, fill the hearts of these young
                               people and their families with His eternal law of love.

                               ALL: Lord, we are your people and you are our God. Please hear
                               our prayers.
