What is
Marriage?
Marriage,
as instituted by God, is a faithful,
exclusive, lifelong union of a man and a
woman joined in an intimate community of
life and love. They commit themselves
completely to each other and to the
wondrous responsibility of bringing
children into the world and caring for
them. The call to marriage is woven deeply
into the human spirit. Man and woman are
equal. However, as created, they are
different from but made for each other.
This complementarity draws them together
in a mutually loving union that should be
always open to the procreation of
children. These truths about marriage are
present in the order of nature and can be
perceived by the light of human reason.
They have been confirmed by Divine
Revelation and in Sacred Scripture.
-Bishop Gerald Barnes, San
Bernadino
Community
Wedding

Annual Community Wedding will be on

Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 21: 28-32
Jesus tells a parable to a
group of religious leaders. He wants them
to figure out which one of the sons did
his father’s will. Was it the one who
said yes but never showed up? Or was it
the one who said no but later repented and
carried out the father’s wishes.
Sometimes people can deceive us by smooth
talk. But God is never deceived. Like
Jesus, our lives can be a “yes”
to God the Father in word and
deed.
1.) Have you ever said,
“yes” to someone and then not
done what you agreed to do?
2.) Did you ever say “no”
to someone who asked you (like a parent or
teacher) but then regretted it and changed
your mind?
3.) Jesus is making it clear that
sinners who repent are entering the
kingdom before the priests and elders who
did not repent and believe. What do you
think of this?
