Sirach, Chapter 19, Verse 24
Better are the
GOD-FEARING who have little
understanding than those of great intelligence who violate the Law.
The expression “fear of the Lord” means awe or profound
respect. It does not mean literal fear of God’s power but an awe and
respect for the absolute majesty of God. We should “fear” offending God not
because of his just punishment but because he is all good and deserving of our
love.[1]
Catechism of the Catholic Church
IN BRIEF
2392
"Love is the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being"
(FC 11).
2393
By creating the human being man and woman, God gives personal dignity equally
to the one and the other. Each of them, man and woman, should acknowledge and
accept his sexual identity.
2394
Christ is the model of chastity. Every baptized person is called to lead a
chaste life, each according to his particular state of life.
2395
Chastity means the integration of sexuality within the person. It includes an
apprenticeship in self-mastery.
2396
Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication,
pornography, and homosexual practices.
2397
The covenant which spouses have freely entered into entails faithful love. It imposes
on them the obligation to keep their marriage indissoluble.
2398
Fecundity is a good, a gift and an end of marriage. By giving life, spouses
participate in God's fatherhood.
2399
The regulation of births represents one of the aspects of responsible
fatherhood and motherhood. Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do
not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct
sterilization or contraception).
2400
Adultery, divorce, polygamy, and free union are grave offenses against the dignity
of marriage.
Every Wednesday is
Dedicated to St. Joseph
The Italian culture has
always had a close association with St. Joseph perhaps you could make
Wednesdays centered around Jesus’s Papa. Plan an Italian dinner of pizza or
spaghetti after attending Mass as most parishes have a Wednesday evening Mass.
You could even do carry out to help restaurants. If you are adventurous, you
could do the Universal Man Plan: St. Joseph style. Make the evening a family
night perhaps it could be a game night. Whatever you do make the day special.
