Hey All—
Many of you heard Jason Evert 2 weeks ago, or have heard of him. His message of chastity and pure love is one, that if taken to heart, will lead toward a beautiful marriage. And one that lasts for life!
Here are some beautiful quotes on marriage for you to think about…and aim for as you look toward your own vocation.
"I want to see the radiant happiness of young lovers blossom into the mature love of husband and wife, and reach the crowning glory of fatherhood and motherhood. I want to see their castle of dreams materialize in the sanctuary of the Christian home, where love, peace and happiness abide. I want that home to be a little bit of heaven on earth, a foretaste of that eternal home where love abides and enraptures the soul." -From Courtship and Marriage, by Rev. John A. O'Brien, Family Life Center Publications.
Isn't that a beautiful quote??? It's something I share with our engaged couples. This is what the Church desires for every couple, and indeed, it is what every couple wants in their heart of hearts. As one priest stated, "the church is in the marriage promotion business." Amen!
Everyone seeks that type of happiness, but few actually find it. And with a divorce rate that is sky high—many find just the opposite. So aim high! Don’t settle for anything less then amazing in those you date. And root it all in God---and you are on the path toward that happiness.
Tertullian, one of the Church fathers, expresses it such: "How can I express the happiness of a marriage joined by the Church, strengthened by an offering, sealed by a blessing, announced by angels, and ratified by the Father?" (CCC #1642) Announced by Angels! Try finding a wedding planner that can accomplish that!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intentions:
-For those preparing for marriage that they may come to know that peace and happiness of a marriage in Christ.
-For all young people, that they may “aim high”.
-For all the other intentions you hold in your hearts, we pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Announcements:
The Youth Group, Generation JPII:
-The next meeting is scheduled for Sunday, April 1st —6PM in the St. Faustina Room.
God bless you!
