GOSPEL
“What God has joined together, no human being must separate”
From the Gospel according to Mark 10:1-12
Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds gathered around him and, as was his custom, he again taught them. The Pharisees approached him and asked,
“Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?” They were testing him. He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?” They replied, “Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her.” But Jesus told them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
The Gospel of the Lord
Exaltation to the Supernatural Union
How exciting! We witness the moment when Jesus announces the new indissoluble Marriage, just as the Father created it in the beginning. He knew that through His death and resurrection it would be possible. And so, God makes us one through the grace of the Sacrament. Praised be the Lord.
Applied to Married Life:
Andrew: So, what have you done boost your marriage in such a way? You two seem so different. You look at each other differently, you treat each other differently… My wife and I are amazed.
Teresa: Us…? Nothing.
Andrew: What do you mean, nothing? Come on!
Teresa: It has been the Lord who has done it through His grace. All previous attempts, all human efforts, had been in vain, but since we included the Lord and our Sacrament, the change has been profound. You dive into the depths of the supernatural union with the Holy Trinity. It’s a whole different dimension…
