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.
