GOSPEL
From the Gospel according to Luke 19:45-48
Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out
those who were selling things, saying to them,
“It is written,
My house shall be a house of prayer,
but you have made it a den of thieves.”
And every day he was teaching in the temple area.
The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile,
were seeking to put him to death,
but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose
because all the people were hanging on his words.

The Gospel of the Lord.
Union of Intimacies
The Gospel is such a beautiful gift. The Word. An immense blessing from God. Through it, He reveals His mystery, His Heart, His plans, His love for me, and His love for my husband…
Through daily marital prayer in the Gospel, we can begin to build an intimate relationship together—with God! We become aware of being children of the Father, children of the same Mother, spouses of the Spouse, filled with the Holy Spirit’s Love at our core.
I no longer feel like a servant; I feel like part of God’s family, experiencing how He unites us and, as one, draws us into His Heart.
Now, our marriage is a constant house of prayer.
Applied to married life.
Caroline: Albert, we talk about so many things during the day, but we rarely discuss the most important thing—God.
Albert: Today, I was moved when I saw how the Lord entered into you during communion.
Caroline: I’ve been thinking that, instead of talking about other things, I’d like to speak more about Him and experience His presence. What do you think?
Albert: I think I’m going to order a Trappist monk habit.
Caroline: Haha, well, that wouldn’t hurt you. Haha, you’re so funny . I love it.
Albert: But seriously, I know it’ll be difficult for me because I tend to be a bit lazy, but it’s true that when He is present between us, He unites us in such a special way.
Caroline: Thank you, Albert. You’re amazing.
Mother,
May our marriage be a house of prayer. Either we talk about God and His ways, or what’s the point of talking at all? Praised be forever
