  • Blog Post | How To Explain The Eucharist To Your Wedding Guests

    Written by Christina Jaloway, read by Andi Compton

    One of the unique challenges to planning a Catholic wedding liturgy is the fact that in many cases, a large number of guests are either not Catholic or are no longer practicing the Catholic faith. This presents an excellent opportunity for evangelization through beauty: a well-planned and joyfully celebrated nuptial Mass can serve as a moment of grace for your guests who may be skeptical or misinformed about the Church. 

    Your wedding programs are the perfect place to explain the significance of the Eucharist to your wedding guests. Shop for Catholic wedding program templates at www.spokenbride.com.

  • St. Andrew Christmas Novena

    The St. Andrew's Christmas Novena is traditionally prayed 15 times a day from St. Andrew's Feast day, November 30, until Christmas Day. It's an excellent way to slow down during advent and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. You can pray this for a single intention or pray it with a group for all your intentions.


    Hail and blessed be the hour and moment

    in which the Son of God was born
    of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold.

    In that hour, vouchsafe,

    I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires through the merits
    of Our Savior,
    Jesus Christ,
    and of His blessed Mother.

    Amen.

  • Chaplet Divine Mercy
    Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with Andi Pineda Compton and Stephanie Fries. 
    “Say unceasingly the Chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it, they will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy.” (Diary, 687)
