Hi, guys—

My name is Carolina and I'm 26 years old.

  • I know I can't get married to a divorced man through the normal Catholic ritual but is it possible for our union to get a blessing?

Thank-you for your time.

Carolina

  { Though I can't get married to a divorced man in a Catholic ritual can we get our union blessed? }

Bob replied:

Carolina,

My suggestion is that you make an appointment with a priest to discuss what is happening.

These days marriages and remarriages have such extremely unique circumstances it is important to discuss all the various implications with someone that can navigate the legalities. Short of that, it is difficult to offer comprehensive advice.

In any case, the likelihood is that you may be advised to withhold reception of the Eucharist, or other Sacraments, until you get it worked out.

God bless you, and I pray the Lord will guide you in His Truth.

Peace,

Bob K.

Fr. Jonathan replied:

Hi, Carolina —

Bob gave you a fine answer — so much depends on the particular circumstances so you should speak with your priest.

Hope this helps,

Fr. Jonathan
