Marriage Preparation
Someone once said that a wedding happens in one day, but a marriage happens over a lifetime. Such a commitment deserves the most serious reflection and discernment one can muster.
Please take a moment to review this document on marriage preparation at Blessed Sacrament. We hope that our reflection on the sacrament of marriage and the meaning of marriage according to the Catholic faith will provide matter for many conversations between you as spouses and with the member of the clergy with whom you will be meeting.
Marriage is a beautiful gift from God to the couple and to the whole church. In fact, when Scripture talks about God's relationship with humanity, it does so more often than not through the analogy of a husband and wife. Moreover, Jesus performed his first miracle at the wedding in Cana. There can be no doubt that God intended men and women to join together in marriage in order to cooperate with him in giving life to others and helping others appreciate his other gifts.
We rejoice with you as you discern this call from God in your own lives and we want to support you in your journey.
