In his weekly catechesis, Pope Francis reflected on the power of the Holy Spirit present in the love of married couples.
In many ways, we could say that our society is “obsessed” with sex. But what is the true role and purpose of sex in our lives?
God does not ask spouses to be silos working side by side but to sacrifice their desires, to be subject to one another, to give without counting the cost.
More than just a private contract between two people or an excuse for a party, marriages serve the common good of humanity, society, and the Church.
Love is not meant to be temporary, fleeting, or self-centred but the deepest fulfillment of who we are. And marriage is the fertile ground for this love.
How would you describe marriage? Is it the old "ball and chain"? A mere contract? An out-dated formality? Or just an excuse to have the party of your life?
We join Pope Francis in praying that young people who are preparing for marriage may grow in love, with generosity, faithfulness, and patience.
