The gift of marriage

It cannot be a coincidence that the day I reflected on these Readings was my 46th wedding anniversary! So, I thank God for the gift of marriage and for giving me such a wonderful and dear wife to share my life with. The one-ness of marriage reflects the one-ness of the Trinity. It is through the Sacrament of Matrimony that married couples receive the grace to maintain and strengthen their marriage relationship. My wife and I have experienced that grace on many occasions. Pray for all married couples.
