This summary of the Catechism’s teaching on the sacrament of Matrimony pulls together several beautiful themes regarding marriage and family. Fr. Mike emphasizes the family as the Domestic Church, that community where parents and children grow in charity, forgiveness, prayer, and self-giving. We’re reminded that the communion of love shared by husband and wife in marriage is a sacramental sign of the union between Christ and his Church. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1659 through 1666.
