27th Sunday, Year B
1st Reading:Gen.50:2-18-24. 2nd Reading:Heb. 2:9-11; Gospel: Mk 10:2-16
“Marriage when blessed by God and lived with love and patience is a great source of companionship for man and woman. In Christ it becomes a sacrament, a way to eternal life and the best care-giver to children, God’s delight. That is why Our Lord condemns adultery and divorce. The greatest marriage has taken place between God and man in Christ’s life-giving death. That is why Christ draws all towards salvific love-unity“.
+Anthony J.V. Obinna (Archbishop Emeritus)
