the Botho of Genesis the Lord God said it is not good for the man to be alone I will made a suit a suitable partner for him so the Lord cut four out of the ground various wild animals and various PS of the air and he Pro then to the man to see what he will call them whatever the man called is of the W Beast name the man gave Nam to all the cattle of the verse of the air and all while animals but not proof to be the suitable partner for the man so the Lord cast cast a deepest sleep on the man and while he was asleep he took out one one of his PE and close up his play with flesh the Lord C then peel up into a woman the Rath that he have taken from the man when he brought her to the man the man said this one allot if is paone of my bones and Flesh of My Flesh this one shall be called woman for out of her man this one has been taken that is why a man leaves his father and mother and cleanses to his wife and the two of them become one body the word of the L thanks be to God [Music] the Lord is kind and merciful the Lord is kind and [Music] merciful bless the Lord all my soul and all my being bless His holy name bless the Lord all my soul and forget not all his benefits the Lord is kind and merciful merciful and gracious is the Lord slow to anger and abounding in great kindness as a father has compassion on his children so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him the Lord is kind and merci [Music] but the kindness of the Lord is from eternity to Eternity toward those who fear Him and his Justice toward children's children among those who keep his Covenant the Lord is kind and merciful s PA Corinthos excent f for Theos [Music] hallelujah hallelujah [Music] hallelu hallelu hallelujah Hall [Music] hallu whoever remains in Love Remains in God and God in him hallelujah [Music] hallelujah [Music] hallelu the Lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from hly Gospel according to John GL Jesus said to his disciples as the father loves me so also I so I also love you remain in my love if you keep my Commandments you will remain in my love just as I have kept my father's Commandments and remain in his love I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete this is my commandment love one another as I love you Gospel of the Lord praise to you Lord Jesus Christ you may be seated so PR and Cent good afternoon what us are this how we doing are you nervous still or no good all right it's it's all downhill from here I promise okay procession was the hardest part I know you're you're worried about the dance at the at the reception but that's all right um so it's a joyous day that we come here together to celebrate the union of the matrimony of Jacob and Candy whereby they will be establishing their home and their family together the first reading we hear in Genesis God says that it's not good for man to be alone so he made a suitable partner the the word in Hebrew for spouse means helpmate god makes a helpmate for Adam Eve is much more than just a friend or someone with whom Adam can talk Eve is this perfect helpmate to help Adam to do the will of God now of course in the beginning they mess up we have original sin they fall Adam and Eve uh become prey to the Ws of the devil and so we recognize from that first moment that though the world changed though creation changed forever marriage remained marriage is the only institution from creation that Still Remains it survived through the flood where God said let's start over again it survived throughout the Old Testament throughout the Israelites Disobedience to God and into the New Testament what was Jesus's first miracle does anybody know water and wine right but more importantly where would where would where did that take place at a wedding right everybody thinks oh Jesus is this kind of like you know frumpy sad you know he's telling everybody what they can and can't do um but it's important that we see that his very first miracle took place at a wedding I think that this is so important because it highlights the importance of matrimony it highlights the uh principality of matrimony it highlights this great importance that Society is built on man and woman coming together for the love of one another but also for the procreation and education of their youth and so marriage is this beautiful institution in which we recognize that God gives us an example he gives us an example of how to love the second reading um St Paul to the Corinthians um St Paul speaks a great deal about love here and he says if I have let's see seeoo if I don't have love I'm nothing more than a clanging gong or a CL clinging Bell or clashing gong right love is one of those words that we throw throw around very lightly today we talk about things that we love we say we love lamp right if we're going to go with Anchor Man um I say from time to time that I love Chick-fil-A that's not true though I don't like actually love Chick-fil-A love is an act of the will it's so much more than emotion often times we think of love and we say well it's just those good feelings that I get inside you know and it's you know I I I love somebody no love is so much more than just an emotion you're getting married today but if you ask any married couple who's been married for longer than a day or longer than a week or longer than a month or if you look to your parents your grandparents these examples of faithful matrimony that has endured throughout the years you'll recognize that love isn't always easy love is a sacrifice we didn't have it in the readings here um but I like to often quote St Paul to the Ephesians and his reading that sometimes people get a little upset about it but I'm going to I'm going to talk about it anyway it's when Jesus says let's see let me find it where I had it here um I'm lost anyway it's where Jesus says wives be obedient to your husbands right and everybody bristles at that part I don't I don't like that but then what does he say to husbands next he says husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church well how did Christ love the church he died he died on a cross and so marriage is this opportunity in which as the couple comes together the two Wills become one where you are united Jacob and Candy you have to set aside your own desires your own Wills your own passions and you have to recognize what is God calling you to God is calling you to Holiness God is giving you this gift this Sacrament right at kaaa Jesus didn't just turn the water into wine to say like here we go let's party but rather he highlighted the importance of marriage making it a Sacrament a Sacrament is an outward sign of an inward Grace right and so marriage isn't just some institution it's not just some piece of paper I already signed the piece of paper by the way U because it's not just some piece of paper it'll it'll you know all the legal stuff and get you a discount on your honeymoon probably but but marriage is so much more than just an institution or piece of paper it's a covenant right God made covenants with man God made covenants with those who he created God made covenants with those whom he loved God made covenants with those who disobeyed him who betrayed him and the new and eternal Covenant which Jesus Christ made on the cross and when I say Eternal I mean Eternal not like until the end of the world but forever outside of time Jesus made this new and eternal Covenant this new and Everlasting Covenant so that we may recognize the love that he has for us we may recognize the love that he gave his life for us and in return he calls us to be obedient to him to strive to do his will we live in a time in a world where it's really easy to want to do our own will where we want to do our own thing where we kind of can look around and you know we can kind of get whatever we want we can get on an airplane and within you know 18 hours is wherever we want in the world we can go on Amazon and uh you know by 7:00 the next morning whatever you want is at your doorstep we live in this world of instant gratification I want a good marriage okay that's going to take work right I want a good marriage that's going to take communication I want a good marriage that's going to take some compromise that's going to take exchange that's not just for Jacob and Candy of course that's for all of you married couples that you recognize as husband and wife you strive to sacrifice for the sake of one another and marriage is this perfect image of the love that Christ has for his church and so with every Sacrament right I said there's kind of an external sign the external sign is you you show the world the love that Christ has for us through your own self-sacrificial love not not a love that is self- serving not a love that is um only one-sided but a sacrificial love one of my friends moms used to tell us in seminary the best way to keep a marriage together is not to get divorced just take that word out of the vocabulary altogether say no we're going to sacrifice we're going to love one another we're going to strive to be holy Jacob it's your job to get candy to heaven and Candy it's your job to get Jacob to heaven you have kids they'll come along you know and they'll they'll they'll test you and they'll try you you know and yeah they'll probably kind of be opportunities for you to grow in Holiness as well but that's not your main concern it's not your kids that get you to heaven they might make it easier but it's not your kids's job to get you to heaven it's your job to get each other to heaven and your kids see that your kids will witness that they will see the love that you have for one another they will see that self-sacrificial love teaching them not to be selfish teaching them to serve others teaching them to lay down their lives for the sake of their friends Jesus says I no longer call you slaves but friends you are my friends if you do what I command you and I've laid down my life for you that's a big task to lay down one's life to set it aside to say God I want to do your will Jesus tells us in the gospel as the father loves me so I also love you remain in my love remain in my love it's easy for us from time to time to get distracted and to get discouraged and to think ah I I'm just I'm too far gone God doesn't God doesn't care I messed up too much but yet we recognize that his love for us is this infinite love that we cannot comprehend we cannot fathom the love that God has for us and so candy and Jacob it's your responsibility after you're married to show the love of God to one another marriage isn't always easy right married couples marriage easy is that F matrimonio no no okay yeah that's see no yeah oh no yeah pada graas seora yeah if it were easy everybody would do it and you know the world would be this great place something that transcends culture and language but we recognize that God gives the grace that we need you serve as an important part of Christ's Church as members of his body to help those around us to know his love for us and so I challenge you that when marriage perhaps becomes difficult when there are disagreements when there are arguments when there are you know little squabbles and whatnot that you always remember that remain in the love of the father as the father has loved me so I love you think of that your own minds as God the father has loved Jacob as God the father has loved Candi so candy and Jacob love each other you'll have arguments you'll have discussions don't go to bed angry always reconcile always recognize that God is bigger than just the two of you that God can do marvelous things that through you God will work in this world to lead others to grow in Holiness to lead others to recognize that love that he has for us so as we celebrate this joyous day as we continue with this uh sacrament of matrimony it's my prayer for you Jacob and candy that God may continue to pour his love into you you may always love one another with the love of the father okay opport re grand grand compass for excellente [Music] paoo San benedicto San Francis papa papa uh benedicto Papa
