Dear Mark —
No but, in the six-month preparation
period for the sacrament of Matrimony,
your pastor will want you to undergo
preparation for receiving the Eucharist
and Confirmation. These will fully
initiate you into the Catholic Church (I
assume you wish to be fully Catholic.) Talk
to your pastor.
Marriage is a way of living out the
relationship of Christ and His Church,
His Body. It is a reflection of the
Eucharistic union. You will need
the grace of the Holy Spirit to faithfully
live out your marriage in today's
world.
Mary Ann
