MARRIAGE
"The final battle between Christ and Satan will be over marriage and family."
~Sister Lucia from Fatima
Holy Marriages are Possible
With God all things are possible, so why not marriage?
Pope Pius XII: “If their love had been total, if it had been absolute, if it had been that love which consists in the giving of one’s self, if it had known no other limits than the love of God, or better still, if that human love had been raised above the senses to rest on and be fused in a complete and common love of God, then truly no extraneous upheaval would have disturbed its harmony, no shock would have broken it, no clouds would have darkened its sky."
We are all called to become a saint! God has a plan for each of us. We must deny ourselves and pick up our cross and carry it for God our Savior. But to do so, we must be selfless! We must give ourselves completely firstly to God and then our spouse. In all aspects of marriage, think about the other's needs and desires. What can you do to aid your spouse on this journey home to Heaven? Surely yelling, nagging, hurting, and being selfish will not help or aid them! God called you to be spouses and to be each other's aid as you walk through life. So be their aid, their best friend, their helpmate, their lover, and their support as they need you so much! And by doing so, the crosses you carry, now together, will become lighter, more manageable, and you will find
true joy in suffering!
"Where love reigns, suffering is absent or suffering itself is loved.” ~St. Augustine
Quote from President Ronald Regan:
“Families stand at the center of society, so building our future must begin by preserving family values.”
