“Love one another as I have loved you ….”


Take time with your beloved to discover the power of your vocation of marriage! Marriages are under huge pressures in today’s world. Couples are called to fulfill the mission of Christ for each other and as examples that witness to others about the goodness of God. This is "radical love" (love at the root level): God's radical love for us and our radical love for each other. The keys that unlock the power of faith in marriage are hope and love. Hope is the fuel that energizes our faith; love is the wheel that drives faith forward. However, we cannot give what we do not have. Only God can love us fully. To heal the hurts that have happened in your marriage, find out how much God loves you by rediscovering who you are to God -- as individuals and as couples.
