Pre-Cana with the Pope

Renzo and Monica Ortega

211 Episodes

We always wished that the Catholic Church could have done more to prepare us for the challenges that came with married life. Marriage prep workshops, weekend retreats, and Pre-Cana classes are a start, but they aren’t enough. Even meeting with a priest or mentor couple leading up to the big day can fall short. “Marriage Prep” doesn’t stop on the wedding day, as St. John Paul said, “Marriage preparation has to be seen and put into practice as a gradual and continuous process.” That is why we’ve created a show just for couples who wish that marriage prep covered more. Each week we will ask St. John Paul a question about marriage and family life and we’ll find the answers by diving into JPII’s writings, homilies, and speeches. We’ll reflect on our own experience of marriage and family life and share how we’ve integrated JPII’s wisdom into our lives. What would YOU ask if you had Pre-Cana with the Pope? Let’s jump in!
