Outline:IntroductionThe Marriage Service ExplainedA Brief Liturgical HistoryOverviewThe Unity of Christendom conference is held annually in Liverpool, NY at the Church of St. Mary the VirginSaint Athanasius ChurchVideo Version

Delivered by Randy from the Parish of Christ the King in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 2 Corinthians 12:1-10; Rs psalm 34: 8-9.10-11.12-13; Matthew 6: 24-34.WORRINESS The title for our meditation today is:Worriness. Everyone has been worried and will have it tomorrow or the dayafter. A holy person like Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said that during herlife, she worried many times, whether all she did was pleasing to God or viceversa. Many saints are of the same situatio and of course we as ordinarypeople, experience worry as part of our lives in this world. A worried person usually feelsuncomfortable and is afraid of things that will happen to him or her. Worrinessis related to the future, and not today or yesterday. Tomorrow or the futureopens the door for us to think and hope to be what we want to be. We know wellthat tomorrow and future are unclear and uncertain, that is why we are thenhaunted by worriness. There was a couple of fianceepreparing themselves for the celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony whichwas only one week away. Time was decreasing from the 6th day to the designatedday, the more they worried. There were many things to worry about, such as ifthe weather was not good or not many people would attend, one or both of themwere unable to attend due to illness, chaos caused by outsiders and so on. There are many other examples thatillustrate how we often worry about bad events and negative experiences thatwill happen to us. The question is: what is the strategy to deal with thoseconcerns? There is one answer. Our realistic attitude must be a fundamentalthing to have. Life is about become happy and sad, there is when we fall andrise. If we understand this life like a spinning wheel and we live it asbelievers, worriness will not be a problem that is burdensome and obstructing. The thing that is more specific thanaccepting the reality of life, is to act positively towards existing weaknessesor shortcomings. The term used by Saint Paul in his second letter to the peopleat Corinth is "boasting about my weakness". Within us there areweaknesses that are correlated directly to the problems or difficulties outsideourselves. For example, the weather is so hot, it strikes the condition of yourskin that easily peels off, and this results in you a problem or challenge youshould face. It is precisely in this situation thatwe see ourselves as helpless, having burdens, or in spiritual expression, weare carrying the cross. In humility we accept calmly and patiently, thenwe  leave to God whom with His great loveand power lift us up. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O  benevolence and lovingLord, enable us to persevere and believe in You, even though we are alwaysworried in our lives. Glory to the Father ... In the name of the Father...

The Catechism introduces the seven sacraments that Christ offers the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The Catechism highlights the fact that the sacraments are “by the Church” because the Church is “Christ's action at work”, and they are “for the Church” because they “manifest and communicate to men…the mystery of communion with the God who is love.” Fr. Mike focuses on the fact that while ministerial priests administer many of the sacraments, their priesthood is at the service of the baptismal priesthood, into which all of the baptized are ordained. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 1113-1121. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.  Genesis 2:24   Summary Unity between man and woman was God's original plan, but the Fall not only broke our relationship with God, it also broke our relationship with each other.  But the good news is that Jesus has given us grace in the sacrament of Matrimony so we can have a oneness in marriage that would be impossible otherwise!  With unity, couples can handle anything life dishes out. Without it, even the easy things will seem hard. Couples need to constantly be striving for unity, because if spouses aren't intentional, those marriages will drift apart!  In this podcast, we will give you three tools - honoring, forgiveness, and vulnerability - that you can use to start moving towards your spouse.  We need to intentionally use these tools to work towards the greater unity within the gift of marriage that God has for us.     Key Takeaways All couples must strive for unity - if you float along, you will drift apart Unity was what we were made for, but the fall introduced distrust into the male/female relationships There are three things you can do to move towards unity:  honoring, forgiveness, and vulnerability On the scale of Affirmation/Criticism, choose to honor your spouse, even publicly to build them up On the scale of Resentment/Forgiveness, choose to forgive them instead of being resentful of their shortcomings On the scale of Detachment/Intimacy we need to choose vulnerability and openness to our spouse.    Couple Discussion Questions On a scale of 1-10, how are we doing in our unity? In which of the three areas can we do better?  Which one of these three areas is the most challenging for me?  Why do I think that is?     Resources Free Mini-Marriage Retreat:  https://messyfamilyproject.org/guide/mini-marriage-check-in/ Register for the Family Board Meeting!  https://messyfamilyproject.org/course/family-board-meeting/ Easter Webinar Register here…. www.Catholiccouplesgetaway.com

One of the most time-consuming parts of wedding planning is creating your seating chart. Carefully pairing guests while keeping tables balanced may feel tedious, but it's worth it. A well-planned chart ensures a seamless, luxurious experience where guests feel considered. It also prevents last-minute chaos as people find their seats. However, without a clear strategy, this process can quickly become overwhelming and impact your big day. With the right approach, you can create a smooth, enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. Stay with me. Today, we're talking about the most common seating chart mistakes to avoid—and what to do instead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Marriage is a sacred union, designed with a purpose far beyond what the world often portrays. To truly build a relationship that honors God and fulfils His plan, it's vital to understand His original intent for marriage. This is a powerful service where we'll uncover the purpose and blueprint for marriage as God intended.

Archbishop Vigneron joins host Mike Chamberland to discuss the Sacrament of Marriage, one of the Sacraments at the Service of Communion. Their conversation takes us through the sacrament itself, covers how marriage is reflected in Scripture, and touches on the differences between the secular and Catholic understanding of marriage.(0:21) Host Mike Chamberland, flying solo without cohost Mary Wilkerson this month, welcomes Archbishop Vigneron to another episode of Eyes on Jesus. The Archbishop shares some highlights of the last month, including the solemn opening of the Jubilee Year of Hope, meeting with Knights of Columbus leadership, and the Christmas holiday. (4:09) Mike introduces today's topic: the Sacrament of Matrimony. Archbishop Vigneron begins by talking about the difference between the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist), Sacraments at the Service of Communion (Matrimony, Holy Orders), and Sacraments of Healing (Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick). Mike then asks Archbishop Vigneron to provide an overview of what happens during the Sacrament of Matrimony. (10:07) Archbishop Vigneron suggests there are “two archetypes” of marriage through salvation history: First, the marriage of God in the world, which is inscribed in the nature of the human person, and then the marriage of Christ with humanity in the Church. He clarifies that while the Sacrament of Matrimony can take place outside the celebration of the Eucharist, it is most appropriately celebrated within the context of the Mass. He and Mike then discuss who actually “confers” the Sacrament of Matrimony: the husband and wife.(14:47) Archbishop Vigneron shares how the Sacrament of Matrimony is reflected in Scripture, beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. Mike asks about the purpose of marriage, which Archbishop Vigneron summarizes as a way for God's sons and daughters to fulfill their own purpose and participate in the mystery of communion. Archbishop Vigneron then explains what we mean when we say marriage is “unitive and procreative.”(26:53) Mike asks the Archbishop to explain why the Catholic Church rejects divorce. Archbishop Vigneron points to Scripture, where Jesus Christ teaches that divorce had previously been permitted due to a human hardness of heart. But now, “we have hearts of flesh, not stone, by the power and grace of Christ.” Archbishop Vigneron then explains how the secular concept of divorce differs from a declaration of nullity from the Church. (35:04) Archbishop Vigneron shares about the annual Together in Holiness Conference, an opportunity for spouses to grow together in holiness and, for those who are parents, to learn how to form their children in the Catholic faith. He also looks back on a marriage ceremony he celebrated early in his priestly ministry and shares what he most enjoys about celebrating this sacrament. Then, he talks about the witness of his parents living out their vocation as a married couple. (42:15) Mike shares his own experience of being married for 21 years, learning from the witness of his own parents and other couples in his life. He and the Archbishop then discuss the Feast of St. Valentine, or St. Valentine's Day. Archbishop Vigneron suggests that while the secular celebration is often focused on romance itself, the Christian focus for relationships should be on love, which remains even in times when romance fades. He and Mike then offer their advice to couples preparing for marriage and those struggling in their marriages. (48:20) Archbishop Vigneron answers listener questions about his favorite memory as a bishop, how to address others' doubts of God, and the one thing he'd ask God for if given the chance. He then closes the episode with a prayer and blessing.

“The whole pleasure of marriage is that it is a perpetual crisis.”– “David Copperfield,” Chesterton on Dickens

Questions Covered:  05:49 – I've heard there's 7 Sacraments. Two are mutually exclusive (Matrimony & Holy Orders). If a Catholic Man is unmarried/not ordained religious and receives the other 5 Sacraments, is he missing something/less than others who are married/ordained?  15:21 – When talking to Tom earlier, you left on a cliffhanger. Where in the Bible does it say you should be Catholic?  37:41 – As a non-Catholic, can I go to Confession?  44:02 – Is there a connection between Classical Liberalism / democracy (differing ideas in society) and Protestantism (having differences in faith in the “Church”)?  50:37 – Could you give me a Biblical/Traditional defense on Marian Doctrine in general?  …

In this episode of On Mission, Sarah Harrigan Scalfaro, Chris Pierno, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discuss their experiences preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage and the importance it has to build a fruitful lifetime for the couple.Because Christian marriage is a sacrament, the Catholic Church wants couples to be well-prepared. Dioceses and parishes offer marriage preparation to help couples develop a better understanding of the sacrament; to evaluate and deepen their readiness to live married life, and to gain insights into themselves as individuals and as a couple. Marriage preparation programs take different forms. Some couples attend a weekend retreat; others are matched with a "sponsor couple"; and others participate in a series of marriage preparation classes offered by their parish or diocese. The important thing for engaged couples to keep in mind as they check numerous items off their pre-wedding "to-do" list is the well-known adage, "Your wedding lasts a day, but your marriage lasts a lifetime." The Church encourages couples to invest time and energy into the all-important work of preparing for their married life together. Related On Mission episodes:Marriage Part 1Marriage Part 2: Accompanying CouplesParents Introducing the Faith to Their Young Children From the Ad Infinitum blog:About Marriage Read Marriage and Family ResourcesWatch Marriage Accompaniment Webinar with Dr. Steven SerafinClick here for Vocational Discernment Resources  Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify On Mission is produced by the Catholic Apostolate Center.

This summary of the Catechism's teaching on the sacrament of Matrimony pulls together several beautiful themes regarding marriage and family. Fr. Mike emphasizes the family as the Domestic Church, that community where parents and children grow in charity, forgiveness, prayer, and self-giving.

“Love seeks to be definitive,” the Catechism tells us in this section on marital fidelity. The faithfulness of husband and wife in the sacrament of Matrimony is a sign of God's irrevocable covenant with humanity. This fidelity is both beautiful and challenging. Fr. Mike addresses painful separation and divorce situations and how the whole ecclesial community should respond with truthful love. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1646 through 1651.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we begin the section on the sacrament of holy Matrimony.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we reach the conclusion and “nugget day” for the section on the sacrament of Holy Orders. Fr. Mike reiterates that all three degrees of the sacrament are a longed for element of the “priestly people.” They are those called to go before God and before his people as a mediator. Fr. Mike also explains that for those who are not called to either “sacrament of service”, Holy Orders or Matrimony, we are all called “to be able to rejoice with those who have received gifts.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1590-1600. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The Catechism enters Chapter Three on the “Sacraments at the Service of Communion” which include both Holy Orders and Matrimony. As it introduces the sacrament of Holy Orders, Fr. Mike reminds us that every vocation is a gift, and that—no matter what state of life we are in or have been called to—we should read this chapter with an open heart and a grateful spirit. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1533-1538.

From dry weddings to militant veganism to devastating family secrets, this brand-new AITA episode is all about the hubris of humankind and the inherent cruelty of serving tofu and sprouts to sober guests at a wedding.

The Catechism introduces the seven sacraments that Christ offers the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The Catechism highlights the fact that the sacraments are “by the Church” because the Church is “Christ's action at work”, and they are “for the Church” because they “manifest and communicate to men…the mystery of communion with the God who is love.” Fr. Mike focuses on the fact that while ministerial priests administer many of the sacraments, their priesthood is at the service of the baptismal priesthood, into which all of the baptized are ordained. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 1113-1121. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
