If you're looking for Catholic ceremony readings, this might just be the one for you! Featuring a well-loved passage from the bible, which features the words, "Where you go, I will go... Where you lodge, I will lodge", it's suggested by Irish Catholic organisation Accord as a first reading for a wedding ceremony, which is usually taken from the Old Testament. A moving rumination on love and loyalty (in the bible, Ruth speaks these words to her husband's mother, after her husband passes away), we think it's a lovely choice for a Catholic wedding ceremony.

Ceremony Reading for Catholic weddings: A Reading from the Book of Ruth (1:16-17)

Ruth said,
“Do not press me to leave you
or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go;
Where you lodge, I will lodge;
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
Where you die, I will die
-there will I be buried.
May the Lord do thus and so to me,
and more as well, if even death parts me from you!”
