Summary/Abstract: Among the anaphoral texts, which have received an approval from the highest Church authorities, the Canadian Eucharistic prayer for the Ritual-Mass Pro Sponsis is distinguished for several reasons. It is unique because of its special character, it can be used only within the Canadian French-speaking dioceses and possibly it is the least known and treated one by the liturgics. The aim of this paper is present this anaphora to the Polish reader. For this purpose, the Author outlines the broader historical context of this anaphora emergence, starting from the debates at Vaticanum II hall. This is followed by the formal and content presentation of this anaphora and the theological analysis of its phrasing. Next, the Author tries to point out the value of the anaphora by its comparing to the two other projects of Eucharistic prayer of private origin (Dutch and Belgian ones). By the end he attempts to show, why this anaphora remains unknown to the broader circles of liturgical theologians, despite the fact of being enrichment for the other liturgical texts used during the concluding of matrimony in the post-counciliar times.
