Marriage and Family Resources

There are so many Catholic resources out there for pre-marriage, marriage, and families (your family begins the moment you get married)! This is definitely going to be a constant work in progress. As the list grows, we pray that you won’t be intimidated by it all, as we once were by how much is out there. See it as a blessing! Our faith has such a rich depository to choose from that can speak to each of our unique circumstances, needs, and seasons. So don’t feel like you have to be involved in everything here to have a fruitful journey! We are firm believers that when you’re heart is open to the journey, God will lead you to what will help you each step of the way. For us personally, we find ourselves diving into different prayers and resources depending on our season.

If you have any resources, prayers, devotions, etc. that you’d like to share, we’d love to post it here!

33 Days to Morning Glory

33 Days to Morning Glory

Sandra and Paul did this consecration journey 33 days before their marriage, where they did the consecration (on Day 33) within their wedding mass. Their relationship with Our Blessed Mother changed and continues to grow because of this book that takes you on a daily journey teaching you about the role Our Mother can play in our lives when we let her, which was admittedly unclear and confusing for Sandra and Paul. The daily reflections and prayers do not take longer than 10 minutes to do each day and is an amazing journey to take as a couple at any point! Consecration to Momma Mary (as Sandra says) can seem intense and scary, but it’s actually quite the opposite! It opens the door to a beautiful relationship that allows her to help us in our spiritual journeys. Momma Mary is truly the secret weapon to vibrantly living out the Catholic faith, as proven by the lives of the many saints that allowed her to walk with them, most familiarly, St. Pope John Paul II. As the first hand witness to her Son’s ministry on earth and ultimately His suffering for us, Our Mother wants nothing more than to help us grow closer to her Son and advocates on our behalf to Him in a way that no one else can.
