Sacrament of Matrimony (Marriage)

Through the Sacrament of Marriage God blesses the love of husband and wife and enriches and deepens it.

Through the Sacrament their marriage becomes one of the ways Christ is present to them, their children, and the world.

The Sacrament is also helps them to be ministers of love for others, especially as a couple and in their home - as parents and as hosts to friends and strangers alike.

A particularly rich introduction to the vocation of the family to love is provided in Pope Francis' letter: The Joy of Love. The full text can be read on-line here. Printed copies are on sale in the parish repository. Especially valuable to read is Chapter 4 of the Letter.
