MARRIAGE

“The purpose of marriage is to help married people sanctify themselves and others. For this reason they receive a special grace in the sacrament which Jesus Christ instituted. Those who are called to the married state will, with the grace of God, find within their state everything they need to be holy, to identify themselves each day more with Jesus Christ, and to lead those with whom they live to God.” - St. Josemaría Escrivá

SANCTITY OF MARRIED LIFE

St Margaret and Malcolm, King and Queen of Scotland – were beautiful witnesses to the grace of the sacrament of matrimony by striving to grow in holiness together and in so doing, reached out to all those of their kingdom – our witness of the sanctity of the married life can do the same today.

MARRIAGE

Want to turn the secular tide? Stop complaining. Be a saint.

“Want to turn the secular tide? Stop complaining on Facebook. Be a saint. 

Want to change the marriage culture? Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than teachers. Bear witness in your own marriage.

Holy marriages fuel a strong marriage culture. Commit right now to your spouse and to your kids that their vision of marriage will be shaped not by legislators, teachers, or activists but by YOUR marriage–by your heroic devotion, one-flesh union, and fidelity to that truth imprinted on your bodies and affirmed by God. When asked the most pivotal question in this debate–what is marriage?–their answer should be clear: my mom and dad.

The Supreme Court may sway the marriage culture with the swipe of a pen. But saintly spouses can move mountains. The tide will surge the other way only when we stop complaining about the state of marriage and instead live a better alternative.”

32nd SUNDAY

 

 

When you run into rough waters in your marriage, Fr. James Gilhooley invites you to always remember that Marriage still remains the only game in the world where two can play and both can win.

And the chances of success are more likely when couples remember that within a happy marriage, the positive comments should always outnumber the negative about 5 to 1.

PLEASE PRAY THE LORD THAT MARRIED COUPLES BE AUTHENTIC WITNESSES TO CHRIST AND HIS TEACHING.

 

 

IF YOU SEE THIS IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE ALIVE.

IF THAT IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS
