Marriage

[danielania]

I am a roman-catholic who married a christian man. He grew up in a christian missionary church, that brought various priests and pastors form churches from all over the world.
We didn’t get married in a catholic church, the ceremony was performed by a baptist pastor. However , the ceremony was full of God’s presence. We prayed during the ceremony, read Scripture and received blessings in the name of God.
How is our marriage seen through the eyes of the catholic church. am I allowed to receive holly sacraments?

Since you are a Catholic married outside the Church (without a dispensation I assume) you will have to get your marriage validated by the Church before you can receive the sacraments.

Have you experienced a recent desire for the sacraments that you did not have before? I am happy you desire to be in full communion with the Church and I hope that every thing works out that way. Are you experiencing a conversion of some sort are you just curious about Church teaching?

since you express a desire for the Catholic sacraments, that means I assume that you are now or are planning to attend Mass regularly in the Catholic Church. Go to the pastor of that church and pose your question, he will guide you. Assuming neither of you had a previous marriage, the matter is relatively simple to resolve. You will make a general confession, have your marriage convalidated, and then you are free to receive holy Communion. Do not underestimate the immense graces that Christ will pour out on you and your family through these sacraments.
