United in Christ: Preparing the Liturgy of the Word
at Catholic Weddings is perfect for parish staffs to provide
couples with a high quality and pastoral resource for preparing all aspects of
the Liturgy of the Word for their wedding.
This includes:
- Full texts of the readings from The Order
of Celebrating Matrimony in sense line format
- Pastoral Scripture commentary written by married Catholic scholars and
liturgical ministers
- Reading suggestions for a cohesive and unified Liturgy of the Word
- Reasons a couple might select a particular reading
- Guidance for writing the Prayer of the Faithful with sample texts
- Full texts of the consent, blessing and exchange of rings, and the Nuptial
Blessing
- Selection form to turn in to the pastor, deacon, or liturgist
Unlike other resources on the market, United
in Christ presents a focused and simple resource to help couples
select the most necessary parts of the wedding liturgy. The commentaries
explain the meaning of the Scripture text through the lens of the needs of the
couple. Bulk pricing is available for large quantity purchases.
“Over the past decade working in Marriage preparation and assisting couples in
planning for their wedding liturgies, I have often struggled to find resources
that are actually helpful to the couple in preparing for their wedding
ceremony. This resource is a fresh approach and helpful solution to this
dilemma! The commentary and reflections contained herein provide insightful
background on the Scripture texts, and the recommendations for matching up
readings are particularly helpful, especially for those who may be new to the
realm of liturgical preparation. I highly recommend this book to all engaged
couples, and it will be a go-to resource for my own wedding liturgy
preparation.”
