| Holy Matrimony / Marriage |
|
Holy Matrimony / Marriage: is the sacrament of love and honor and if God wills it the raising of children. This union of two hearts was sanctioned by our Lord at the wedding of Cana and solemnized by the church throughout its history. Here before His time had come, He turned water into wine, at a wedding where he was an invited guest, along with his mother, Mary.
Whether Holy Matrimony, or as a marriage, love between two people is celebrated with joy in the Church. A time of festivity and solemn acknowledgement of vows / covenants before friends and family, our Lord has this to say, ” For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife (spouse) and they shall become one flesh.” And in another place it is written: “What God has joined together, let no one separate.” |
