BLESSINGS FOR A COUPLE
The word “Blessing” means “well-wishing”
Master Ignacio Gonzalez Janzen offers the blessing of his Commitment to Couples, to couples who wish to make a beautiful spiritual and loving pact between themselves and before their friends and loved ones.
This ritual is a spiritual bond that constitutes a creed in itself. It is not a sect wedding or a heretical marriage. It is an agreement in profound communion with the nature of which we are a part. It does not replace or pretend to replace other confessions, but rather expresses the belief that we are all part of a great family and that there is an indestructible chain of affections that gives reason to life.
The Commitment of a Couple, also known in the old Celtic tradition as the Ritual of Life, is a beautiful ceremony in which the bride and groom freely offer each other love, respect and devotion, not until death separates them, but as long as they love each other, with all the beings of the Universe to which we belong as witnesses.
It is not a rigid and predetermined ritual, but rather the bride and groom decide some aspects of the ceremony, such as their attire, schedule, whether or not to exchange rings, etc. Nothing is obligatory or subject to protocol. Everything revolves around the couple's deep desire to bear witness to their love.
To understand the content of this experience, which has already been experienced by Catholic, Jewish and other religious couples, we recommend a talk with the teacher who carries it out.
