Charity Wedding Favors Wording

A bridal revolution: do you dare to put into practice the day of your marriage?


ago a little time I have forgotten this blog, since I've spent more time on family under construction. I hung there a few days ago this post, which borrowed the central idea of \u200b\u200bthe film casomai to convert it into a revolutionary proposal.

He entered me in a church in Naples, together with a priest friend, precisely at the time that some husbands were solemnly declaring the formula of consent. The comment of my friend left me ice cream:
- Another marriage null! You can excuse
. Diocesan judge was Naples and devoted many hours to deepen dramatic stories ending in marital breakdown and the death certificate canonical link.
The sign of surrender of the person was played by this guy as a really empty and meaningless. Many people in similar circumstances do not feel the same way that he, for his dramatic trial was due to a clear professional bias, but also attributed greater importance to the consent of the spouses.
In this section opened now propose an initiative inspired by the Italian film, which Casomai Spain has been translated as Commit -. In it, the priest celebrant at a wedding invite friends and family to leave the church to declare that the spouses consent to it as the only witness. The reason? Because they are unwilling to "engage" with their husbands and, very likely, leave them at times when they need your help and advice.

The message of this film is an extraordinary today. To revitalize the marriage sign we should not expect state or liturgical reforms. There are institutions that can fix this gap bleak, but the couple themselves who are the protagonists Wedding and those who invite their friends and family to participate in this momentous occasion for the family.

That priest in his homily wedding talk of the importance and significance of the delivery bed has a small impact on society. What is going to speak? Does nothing to fulfill its function. Weddings are so stereotypical that everyone involved, each in its own way, in a small ceremony.

What I propose here is that the husbands are to assume their role and in the most solemn moment (ie, immediately after pronouncing the words of Consent) call upon all present to listen sitting a formal declaration of intent what might be called an "explanatory clause of the marriage." It might sound something like this:

"Dear Family and Friends, the pronounce words just are not a beautiful way to express our love, but it condenses the demands of our delivery. We know and feel intimate and deeply committed for this sacred bond of love. We want you all be witnesses to God the scope of this commitment. Using our freedom we have set up a simple contract, but a pact of a family nature which is the reciprocal gift of our people . This release is exclusive and in conjugal life. That's why we give promise to divorce and serna faithful till death do us part.

know that this waiver be worth nothing to the state, but we do not care. It is the state that we are home, but our sovereign will: the will of a man and a woman who wield power from God, which is inscribed in human nature.

True, the divorce waiver worth nothing to the state. However, we have a great value to you, relatives and friends who have accompanied him to the altar. We want this act of renunciation you do not see something like the sacrifice of our freedom, but very On the contrary, the supreme expression of our free will. What value would be free if we could not lay down his life for love? To give each other have made the supreme exercise of freedom. We with the help of God and the Church to be faithful to this commitment.

also wish to have your help. Therefore I beseech you also, family and friends to commit yourselves with us in the following areas:

1) That over our lives and especially in the marital crisis that we go through, you may have always been present in your good advice marriage and family.

2) That in the unlikely event that any of us invite you to participate in a second marriage (in other's life except in cases of legitimate ecclesiastical dissolution or annulment) declinéis invoking precisely the invitation sacred power of this commitment.

Because in a few moments seal our covenant of love by receiving the body of Christ and drink his precious blood, we invite you assume this commitment to the Lord our God. Do not ask for anything special or that may violate your conscience. We understand that your presence here during the Eucharistic asumíis this commitment with us.
