Shaping Our Souls:

Our commitments—the truths we choose to believe, the ideals we choose to embrace, the directions we choose to take, the goals we choose to pursue, the hopes we choose to live by—these are the enduring choices that shape our souls, make us the persons we are and determine the true meaning of our names. Jesus Christ invites us to create ourselves, to shape our souls, by the response we make to him.

“Marriage – Faith”:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus affirms the indissolubility of the Marriage bond. In affirming this, Jesus wants to preserve the sacred promises that a couple made to live with one another for life as husband and wife. Marriage is both a Sacrament and a vocation. We all need God’s graces to live its challenges to grow in holiness.

Whatever I shall have to do or suffer in this miserable life, I intend that it be proof of love for my God, so that living, I shall live only to love, and dying, I may die in order to love still more.
