RE: marriage | Tannianly | Saturday, September 4, 2004 |
Question: Dear Brother Ignatius, Your comment that was given to the previous post was given to me by you as well. I fill it anyways. I to am very much confused with the entier issue and need re-education. I feel that more then ever do we need to relearn what a family is and what makes one. The first church is after all the family. Could you please define marital embrace, from your previous post? I guess i missed out on that one. Does it mean consumming it to the fullest into having children when regarding the fact of a sterile wife. Why can a women or a men who is steril not get married in the church?? NOw common that is a bit harsh i find. My heart cries out to those who can't and that are in love. Can the Lord not give life to whom he wants. I look at Mary who gave birth in impossible ways through the Holy spirit. I look at Elizabeth who gave birth in an impossible way. The story of Tobit who married this women and lived to have a nice family. The women that was crying in the temple, and that the Prophet thougth she was crying when Isia told her to go home that the Lord had answered her prayers. She gave birth to a boy who was long awaited for. Sorry for saying it this way and it takes room i know. But, can they not get married even if they can not consumate their love what ever definition you may put into it and trust into the Lord with it all. Love does conquor all after all. I don't know i just find it hard to understand. That must be a very heavy burden to carry for any women or men. Please to teach us. For i think that that can involve a lot and go case by case as one would say. Sometimes there are grey ereas. It's not just black and white. Tannianly. |
