Fruitfulness and Family
Catholic teaching holds that openness to children is part of the native shape of married love — not as one possible add-on, but as part of what marriage is. These readings name the gift of fruitfulness directly: the original blessing in Genesis, the household imagery of Psalm 128 ("your wife like a fruitful vine, your children like olive shoots around your table"), and the vision of a flourishing home in Psalm 112. Fitting for couples who want their wedding to bear witness, openly, to the Catholic vision of marriage as a place where love can become life.
