First reading Genesis 2: 18-24
The Lord God said: "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper for him, which is commensurate with her." Then the Lord God formed from the ground all the beasts of the field and every bird of the air. Brought Him everything to the man to see, how he named; and as the human name given to every living being, so later the name of the creature. The man gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field, but for himself, he does not find a helper comparable to him. Then the Lord God caused a deep sleep; when he slept, God took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh.
And the rib which the Lord God taken from the man, built made a woman, and brought her to the man. The man said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She will be called woman, because she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Psalm Ps 128: 1-2,3,4-5,6
May God bless us all our lives.
"Song of pilgrimage. Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walks in His ways! When you eat the toil hands, blessed are you and are you all right! "
"Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; thy children like olive plants around your table! "
"Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. May the Lord bless you from Zion, Jerusalem so that you see the happiness in your life, "
"And seeing the children of your children! Peace be upon Israel! "
Second reading Hebrews 2: 9-11
Brothers, for a short time Jesus was made a little lower than the angels, we see that because he suffered death, Jesus crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Because it is in accordance with the state of God - that is for Him and by Him all things were made - of God who bring many to glory, also perfected Jesus, which lead them to safety, with suffering. For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified, they all come from the One; that is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Gospel reading Mark 10: 2-12
Then came the Pharisees, and to test him they asked him: "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" But his answer to them: "What Moses command to you?" They said, "Moses permitted a man to divorce by making divorce papers." Then Jesus said to them: "It is precisely because of the hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. Because at the beginning of the world, God made them male and female, because a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. "When they were in the house, the disciples asked him about it. Then he said to them:" Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman, he is living in adultery against his wife. And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery. "
Afterthought
General principle of Catholic marriages are Jesus' words following "What God has joined, let no one separate." This principle must be adhered to by all couples who affirm their marriages Catholic. This principle requires that all married couples to maintain their households in joy and sorrow, profit and unfortunate, at a time when healthy and at a time when the sick. Jesus does not want a divorce in a family. Why did Jesus forbid divorce?
First, the husband and wife must be sure that since birth they had been appointed by God to be united as husband and wife. Courtship is a process for the introduction of more and convince them what God had determined it.
Second, because God unite people, it has the right to divorce they are God also. Then the consequence is that if a husband and wife divorce then it shows that they are deprived of God.
Therefore, the husband and wife need to always remember their marital vows that whatever they encounter in family life, can still be faced with a sincere love and in the attitude of accepting each important is the husband and wife should always be closer and complained to God have brought together their love in a family. This kind of attitude can avoid the husband and wife deprived of God. So be a responsible husband to his wife and children, be a wife is responsible to her husband and children, be a husband and wife, and children who are jointly responsible to God until the end of life.
Items to contemplation
Divorce is essentially impossible, because the husband and wife do not want to get divorced quickly if there is a problem, but should always try to forgive each other and reconcile for the sake of unity.
Prayer
O Lord, bless all Catholic families, especially who are facing difficulties. Amen
