Prayers Issued for Royal Couple Before Wedding; April 29 Wedding Date Made a National Holiday

The Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church of England and Wales have released new prayers ahead of the royal wedding that will occur at Westminster Abbey this month, the Christian Today website reports today (April 9, 2011).

The Church of England's prayer asks God to "look in favor" on the royal couple and "all who are made one in marriage." It also asks God to "deepen their love" and help them to keep their vows to each other.

The Catholic prayer asks for God's blessing upon Prince William and Miss Middleton and to give them strength to serve God, the country, and the Commonwealth "with integrity and faithfulness."

A million people are expected to travel to London for the royal wedding on April 29, which has been made a national holiday in the United Kingdom.
