In the very beginning of time, God in His infinite wisdom and love had given one woman to one man to be lifelong partners and by His sacred union with them, man and woman becomes procreators hence the joyous miracle of birth. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ elevated this to a sacrament whereby man and woman come together freely and give of themselves freely to one another before Him and human witnesses. The couple the actual ministers thereby enter into a sacramental marriage and the fruits of the Sacrament are the graces needed to raise a family and live up to the marital vows.
What has changed? Was it God that changed and allowed for separation? Why do men and women now have a disordered view on marriage? Man with Man? Woman with Woman? How has the views of men and women changed from being subjects of God and love for one another to that of objects of lust and to be used by one another only for personal gratification? To be discarded when no longer needed or useful? Does it all not stem from our hard heartedness? Our world views? Our resolve to divorce regardless of the costs? Or to enjoin what God has not ordained or blessed?
Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to your word. (PS 119:169)
GOSPEL Mark 10:1–12
Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds gathered around him and, as was his custom, he again taught them. The Pharisees approached him and asked, “Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?” They were testing him. He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?” They replied, “Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her.” But Jesus told them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
