Marriage will always be a challenge. But there is a way to move forward in this challenge that brings greater peace and joy. There are no guarantees other than "I will not leave" and "God will not leave".

The BEST explanation of marriage

[@prettygee88]

Amazing message ❤❤❤

[@TraceyHannecart-bu6zz]

Wow! Thank you Father for the extremely profound homilies today. Explaining the difference between contract and covenant was heartfelt. Next, your points about how the world views of marriage is not the same way God views marriage. In addition, encouraging us to read Matthew 7. Yes! I will be examing my heart and inviting God the Father and Jesus into it.😊

So like one of my acquaintance feels lonely and wants to get married. She was seeking my advice. I was surprised..man. I told her, put God between you and him.Give each other space.I mean sometimes when I am in the middle of the spiritual battle it's really me fighting alongside God. I get really down, no one understands that. I just need to be alone during that phase. Build up my inner fire and fight and then when it's all over. I am grounded in yeshua again. But really I don't feel lonely. Thank Jesus, my Nazarene. It's all energy. Spiritual marriages I think. Put God first. Put Jesus first.❤ I really want to get baptised I don't want to die, without being saved. I want to be a catholic. Pray for me padre, because I fear tough times are ahead and I don't want to die without having the bread and blood of my lord. Pray for me please 🥺

[@lauriehartley7000]

Sounds good ! But I'm not married. ❤🙏

[@lakishacroley9216]

Father, I want to make sure I understand. As a Catholic, I can only be married inside of a Catholic Church? I cannot be married by a Catholic Priest outside? Can you lead me to where that is stipulated in the Bible? I never want to go against the word of God but I am confused by this and may just be misunderstanding what you're saying. If God is everywhere and in everything, why can't a field be as precious and holy if we have priest overseeing the ceremony? If they are praying to God to be with them at the ceremony and in their marriage is it any less outside? I truly only wish to understand, as I have seen weddings outside presided over by a Catholic Priest. Was he then in the wrong? Much respect...

[@meihui7767]

My understanding if this issue is on the line of even though God is everywhere we still have to worship Him every Sunday in the church not just worshipping him anywhere we’d like. Weddings are similar to priest ordinations so they should be held in the church? Fr. Mike has a KZbin video on this called Outdoor Weddings you can search for it.

[@thefitzpao]

I really try with the Catholic Church but as a single unmarried childless woman in her 50s <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="794">13:14</a> the message is we are not included and not ascribed with whereas I feel the opposite about my life I contribute in so many ways. Also the message dos not elevate aunts and uncles and all the folks who pick up the parents slack

[@kathyglover7994]

Good point...I was single (again) for 15 years, and found that involving myself in the Church with the music ministry, Ladies Guild, decorating the church for the seasons, and anything else the pastor asked, my life became more centered on others than myself... and I was really happy... it's all good! PS... now married again for 16 years, and still happy and serving others...
