ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με καὶ ταύτῃ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι. καὶ εἶπεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ Αμην.Tobit 8:7-8 RSV. Nicholas J. Healy Jr., in "The merciful gift of indissolubility and the question of pastoral care for civilly divorced and remarried Catholics" (Communio: international Catholic review 41, no. 2 (Summer 2014): 330 (306-330)), treats this as a prayer for the grace to remain faithful for life, though what they're asking for is of course most immediately that, unlike Sarah's seven previous bridegrooms, Tobias be allowed to live through their first night (6:13-17; 7:10-11, 17-18; 8:9-18).
