An integral part of marital spirituality. We all belong to a sinful world, a world in which vengeance grows seven fold. But Christ has introduced us into a world in which forgiveness grows without limit. Living together with our differences which at manifest itself as alienation, we tend to offend or hurt one another. If it is the love of Christ that has united the couple in the married life, the element of mutual forgiveness must be an integral part of their life together. God has forgiven us all; it now remains for us to forgive one another in order to complete the redemptive work of Christ. The redeemed Christian family will be one in which this horizontal forgiveness and reconciliation is constantly operative.
The ultimate goal of Christian economy of salvation is the building up of the Kingdom of God.The sacraments of the Church are the means for realizing this objective.The sacrament of matrimony has a particular role in the realization of this objective.My task is to place before you this specific role which this sacrament in the Church and in the world with a view to facilitate the coming of the Kingdom of God.
