Christmas Blessings and Prayers from Spoken Bride

In these final days of hope and anticipation for the birth of the Savior, we retreat with our families and friends in joyful celebration of the gift of Christ’s life. As the season of waiting comes to close, we open our minds and hearts to receive Jesus into our homes.

Our Catholic faith is rich with prayers, blessings, traditions, and symbols to bring the beauty of God’s light into the domestic church, the home. Christmas Eve is an opportunity to bring special attention to the beautiful decorations around our homes—especially the Christmas Tree or the Nativity Scene—with an intentional blessing and celebration. 

We encourage you to read and pray the Blessing of a Christmas Tree and/or the Blessing of the Nativity Scene with your spouse or family.

Our team will be taking the next week off from publishing new content and is eager to continue communicating the goodness, truth, and beauty of marriage in 2020! New blog features and reflections will resume January 2. Meanwhile, follow along on social media for continued resources and inspiration, including our top posts of 2019.

From all of us at Spoken Bride, may Christ the Bridegroom be born in your hearts this Christmas season. May God continue to shine his light on you and your loved ones. Thank you for your trust, affirmation, support and participation in our mission—we are full of gratitude for every one of our brides, vendors, and readers and hold each of you in prayer.
