:57:02
to prosper and increase
:57:06
the brotherhood of all mankind
:57:10
the reign of the Prince of Peace?
:57:20
What can we do to hasten the time
:57:24
the time that shall surely be
:57:29
when the Earth shall be filled
:57:31
with the glory of God
:57:36
as the waters
:57:38
cover the sea?
:57:46
In every life, no matter how full
or empty one's purse...
:57:51
there is tragedy.
:57:53
It is the one promise life always fulfills.
:57:57
Thus, happiness is a gift...
:58:00
and the trick is not to expect it,
but to delight in it when it comes...
:58:05
and to add to other people's store of it.
:58:09
What happens if, too early...
:58:12
we lose a parent...
:58:14
that party on whom we rely
for only everything?
:58:19
What did these people do
when their families shrank?
:58:23
They cried their tears,
but then they did the vital thing:
:58:28
They built a new family, person by person.
:58:33
They came to see
that family need not be defined...
:58:36
merely as those
with whom they share blood...
:58:39
but as those for whom
they would give their blood.
:58:44
It is in that spirit
that we offer this heartfelt toast...
:58:48
to the brides and grooms.
:58:52
The brides and grooms.
