Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Marriage” – Unity in Faith: In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees tried to test Jesus, that the Mosaic Laws allow ‘divorce.’ Ponder on, “Marriage is a sacred bond between the married couple and God. In immense challenges, God will not fail to bless the couple with abundant Graces, to remain faithful. In overcoming challenges, we mature in our relationship with God and one another.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 10:2-9
Some Pharisees approached Jesus and asked, ‘Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?’ They were putting him to the test. He answered them, ‘What did Moses command you?’ They replied, ‘Moses allowed us to draw up a writ of dismissal in cases of divorce.’
Then Jesus said to them, ‘It was because you were so hard hearted that he wrote this commandment for you. But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female. This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and the two become one flesh. They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh. So then, what God has united, human beings must not divide.’
