This new edition of Together for Life: Revised with the Order of Celebrating Matrimony, Celebrating and Living the Sacrament contains the new texts of the most recent translation of the Order of Celebrating Matrimony. It includes all the tools engaged couples use when meeting with a priest, deacon, or lay parish minister to plan their weddings and prepare for living the sacrament of Marriage. Each reading choice is accompanied by a reflection written by lay married theologians or pastoral leaders who are committed to the sacramental life of the Church. Contributors include Ann M. Garrido, Msgr. Michael Heintz, Diana Macalintal, H. Richard McCord, Geoffrey D. Miller, Tim Muldoon, Julie Hanlon Rubio, and Deacon William F. Urbine. Together for Life includes all of the information, prayers, blessings, and readings needed to plan a wedding that will be held within Mass, without Mass, or between a Catholic and a catechumen or non-Christian. FAQs address questions couples may have about traditions such as readings, music, witnesses, and unusual circumstances. Together for Life includes: Approved texts for the Order of Celebrating Matrimony and prayers from the Roman Missal; “The Word Brought Home,” scripture commentaries by Catholic leaders; Catechetical commentary by Rev.
