Women must remember

Pope Francis applauds scientists for “listening” to unborn voices, affirming the “wonder” of life

Pope Francis has written a preface for a book, Il miracolo della vita (The Miracle of Life), a work examining the subject from a scientific and ultimately pro-life point of view, seeking dialogue with the world 💓🤱

Fathers, your assistance is appreciated. A friend of mine is about to give birth to his first baby girl. He is married with a beloved wife. Please leave any words of encouragement or advice for this man who is about to begin fatherhood, but is receiving no support or encouragement whatsoever from his own family.

An important question for men and women in general. Please give your genuine, unfiltered, and honest opinion.

Is it a bad or a good thing to be a "high maintenance" woman before and after marriage? Which is preferred for a wife?

ST. AUGUSTINE ON THE GOOD OF MARRIAGE

“Now this good [of marriage] is threefold: fidelity, offspring, and sacrament.

Fidelity means that there must be no relations with any other person outside the marriage bond.

Offspring means children are to be lovingly received, brought up with tender care, and given a religious education.

Sacrament means that the marriage bond is not to be broken, and that if one partner in a marriage should be abandoned by the other, neither may enter a new marriage even for the sake of having chidlren.

This is what may be called the rule of marriage: by it the fertility of nature is made honorable, and the disorder of concupiscence [disordered passions] is regulated.”

St. Augustine, “The Literal Meaning of Genesis” (Book 9, Ch. 7)

Hey guys! Are you having a happy bride month so far?
Make sure to propose to someone of the opposite sex or have a wedding to celebrate the occasion!
If you're already married, make sure you treat your wife really nicely!

St Therese of Lisieux, speaking of her father, Louis Martin

“The difference between this child and that one is often largely a matter of what he saw in and heard from his parents. His religious response, his sense of honesty, his ability to play with other children and be unselfish toward them, his attitude toward books, his appreciation of the beautiful, his sense of what is right and what is wrong, his quick apprehending of the charming and noble, his ready reaction to music that is good, his approval of heroism and his rejection of evil and cheapness – all these things need to be established in the child’s mind by the parents, who alone can deeply and strong-rootedly establish them!”

– Fr. Daniel A. Lord, 1950’s
