Papal
Blessing
Did
you know that you could ask for the Pope's blessing for your
wedding?
If
you are both Catholic and are getting married in a Catholic
church, you are eligible to receive the papal blessing or
Benediction Papalis.
Though
it may take some time and is not for free (the fee goes to
charity), the papal blessing provides a wonderful and spiritual
touch for your marriage.
It
comes from the Vatican and is a piece of parchment paper hand-painted
with calligraphy, flowers, and different sketches of the Vatican.
It also has the reigning Pope's photograph, official raised
seal, signature and the blessing.
To
get one, those who have received the papal blessing say you
may write to the Vatican and enclose your wedding invitation.
You may also ask for help from your parish priest or Diocese
office.
