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.”
