Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Occadional Sermons, Vol. 2: And Addresses But there is still another reason why the marriage bonds are exalted and sacred. According to the doctrine of our divine religion matrimony is a Sacrament. It is one of those sacred channels through which the grace of Jesus Christ flows into the hearts of the faithful; it is a symbol of that tender, intimate and saving relation in which the Founder of the Church stands to the Church, which He loves as His spouse, and which He has purchased and won with His most precious Blood. For this reason the great Apostle writes: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church, and delivered himself up for it" (Eph. v, 25). My friend, you as the husband, must impress these words deeply upon your heart and love your wife with a true, sincere and enduring love! It is an important, a most serious step which brings the young bride from her home and from loving, solicitous parents to the altar to contract a union which only the hand of death can dissolve. It is, I say, a serious and important step. How ungrateful and forgetful of his sworn duty it would be for the husband of her choice to deceive her! How pitiful, if he should, contrary to all his ardent promises, treat coldly and unkindly the loving woman who places her hand in his with so much confidence; if he should treat her affection with contempt and wound her heart by neglect, or even in fidelity. As an honest and respectable man, cherish your wife, require of her nothing that is unworthy, treat her with the highest respect, and bear with tenderness any little human frailties and imperfections of which the best of us are not entirely free. Your own interests will prompt you to do so. For I am quite sure that your love and care will meet with the appreciation and gratitude of your wife and will be amply rewarded by God. Your future wife will, on her part, not neglect anything that can conduce to the establishment and continuance of domestic happiness.
