JESUS FULLY REVEALS GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION, AND THE WAY IN WHICH WE NEED TO LIVE TO ENTER INTO

ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN

Today’s Gospel reminds us of the dignity and sanctity within God’s plan of salvation. Specifically, Jesus teaches that the covenant between a man and a woman was instituted by God, and is a lifelong commitment. Husbands and wives, through their love and faithfulness to God and to one another offer a wonderful model of Christian life and love.

"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." - Mk

10:7-9
