The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution  


Reflection
 150:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 48

 

 

Marriage is God's idea, part of God's plan.

Jesus reminds us that marriage, ideally, is meant to be a life-long affair,
although Jesus himself made an exception for the woman at the well,
and St Paul and St Peter also allowed for exceptions

The Christian family is a mini-church,
and is a witness to the world of Jesus' love

Jesus, in our days when marriage is under siege from many sides,
please give extra strength and protection to family life
