Blessing over Married Couples

Christopher West says, “Marriage is a living sign that truly communicates the love of Christ and the Church.” That sign should shine brightly, especially to the youth at the parish. With each couple, standing up during Mass to receive a blessing, they receive graces from the blessing, and the youth see marriage in a positive light. While a perfect activity to do on World Marriage Day (2nd Sunday of February), this can be done any time with equal effect.
