Transformed in Love Building Your Catholic Marriage Engaged Couple Workbook Paperback, 160 pages #74906 $15.95 Transformed in Love: Engaged Couple Workbook is uniquely designed to provide a reflective formational experience for couples participating in the Transformed in Love program. It contains activities, practice exercises, and integrates Scripture quotes, thoughts on marriage from various Church documents, helpful tips, and spiritual and marriage resources. I joyfully share this marriage preparation program with all who want to help prepare couples well for the great vocation of marriage. It is my hope that Transformed in Love will be an instrument of God s grace in the New Evangelization and that it will serve to strengthen the vocation of marriage not only in our archdiocese but also in the wider Church. As we go forward with the work of the New Evangelization, helping engaged couples to understand the relationship between marriage and the life of the Church is of great importance. Also, at a time when society far too easily accepts and in many circumstances even encourages divorce, we must do all that we can to prepare couples for their lifelong commitment to one another. From the foreword by Seán Cardinal Patrick O Malley, OFM Cap., Archbishop of Boston 2
3 If you want to help couples build a loving marriage in today s world, Pauline Books & Media has just the program for you! Transformed in Love is a ready-to-use, Catholic marriage preparation program that responds to the pastoral challenges of current cultural attitudes toward marriage and family life. This program is designed to help couples build strong foundations for a lasting union by: Reconnecting (or connecting) them with the Catholic faith; Clarifying the nature and sacramental grace of marriage; Offering practical skills for living out marriage vows; Providing the witness of faith-filled married couples. Transformed in Love was developed by a qualified group of married couples, priests, deacons, religious sisters, canon lawyers, theologians, and psychologists in the Archdiocese of Boston. During a three-year pilot program, Transformed in Love: Building Your Catholic Marriage was enthusiastically received by engaged couples, program leaders, and parish team members. Their valuable feedback was a major factor in further shaping the program to make it even more adaptable and user-friendly. Over 850 people so far have benefited from their participation in the Transformed in Love marriage preparation program and this number is growing! As a comprehensive teach-out-of-the-box formation program, Transformed in Love includes all the stepby-step instructions and materials you need to offer young couples the tools they will need to build a lasting, love-filled marriage. Why not join all those in marriage and family ministry who are already experiencing the benefits this program has harvested in their parish and diocese? Because the Sisters and staff of Pauline Books & Media believe in the grace of God so powerfully at work through Transformed in Love, we want to share this great news with you as you continue to build and nurture marriage and family life in your parish, in your diocese, and in the Church! May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace. Sr. Mary Mark Wickenhiser, FSP Publisher Transformed in Love was undoubtedly one of the best things we did during our engagement. We came into the program looking to learn more about each other and the Catholic Church s teachings on marriage, and we came out of the program enriched, enlightened, and totally excited to be husband and wife. The beauty of Transformed in Love is that it centers on Church teaching, which allowed us to more fully understand the truth about sacramental Marriage. In that context, we learned how to utilize practical tools to build a strong foundation for our marriage and our future family. Katie Gohn and Benjy Sung,Waltham, MA Engaged Couple, March 2013 Transformed in Love program 3
4 Transformed in Love: The Basics Marriage is a pathway to holiness. It is a vocation through which couples come to know, love, and serve God. Through marriage, as through the other sacraments, God helps us become the best version of ourselves and more and more transformed in love. Transformed in Love uses a house building metaphor to illustrate the concepts of establishing, building, and nurturing marriage and family life. Transformed in Love uses a holistic approach body, soul, intellect and will to prepare the person for sacramental grace. The program proposes ways for couples to grow in wisdom (intellect), truth (will), skill (body/human formation), faith (soul/spiritual formation), and love (by God s grace). Transformed in Love includes the following topics: Self-knowledge Communication building skills Marital expectations Four types of love essential to marriage Marriage s sacramental meaning, marriage vows, and the Rite of Marriage Financial assessment and planning Spiritual practices for marriage and family life Significance of the Mass Marital sexuality, including principles from Blessed John Paul II s theology of the body and the topic of fertility and infertility How to make a marriage last a lifetime through guarding, revealing, and communicating love As a priest who has participated in the Transformed in Love program several times... I fully endorse this wonderful endeavor. I think that it really brings to life the Marriage Preparation experience for our couples. The wide variety of topics covered, from Natural Family Planning (NFP) to Communications to Living a Sacramental Life, offer the couples of today a frank, open, and honest look at what it means to living a sacramental Marriage in the world today. As a priest, I especially like the Teaching Mass. Time and time again, the comments come back from our couples that the Teaching Mass was one of the highlights of their time spent with us I cannot recommend highly enough the Transformed in Love program it is a great benefit not only to our young couples preparing for Marriage, but for our Church as well.
