Encountering the Lord in the Sacrament of Marriage

Looking at our wedding photos, I realized how great and generous the Lord is. Imagine, with the little budget we had and the short period to prepare, we were able to come up with a small, decent and solemn Church wedding.

I am a Catholic and firmly believe that a Marriage covenant blessed by God through His Church will be filled with so many blessings and graces. This is clearly stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1642), and I quote:

MODELS OF FAITH

August 10, 2013 - Feast of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr

 Gospel- John 12:24-26

Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you,

unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,

it remains just a grain of wheat;

but if it dies, it produces much fruit.

Whoever loves his life loses it,

and whoever hates his life in this world

will preserve it for eternal life.

Whoever serves me must follow me,

and where I am, there also will my servant be.

The Father will honor whoever serves me.”
