Some
Pharisees came to him, and met him they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce
his wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that the one who made
them at the beginning, made them male and female, and said, “For this reason a
man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two
shall become one flesh?” Therefore, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore
what God has joined, let no one separate. They said to him, “Why then did Moses
command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?” He said to
them, “It was because you were so hard-hearted that Moses allowed you to divorce
your wives, but at the beginning, it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces
his wife, except for unchastity, and marry commits adultery.
Father Nino Cavoto said that the
gospel passage has association with the teaching of Christ about the sacrament
of marriage, which is the union of husband and wife. The sacrament is essential
to the structure and sanctity of marriage. The Lord advised husbands and wives not to be alone but to
provide help to your mate or partner. It is not good for us to be alone.
Loneliness is not part of the plan, which God intended to those He loves.
Hardness of the heart keeps us to be lonely and if it persists, creates problems
in our world such as the outcasts who were suffering loneliness of life experiences.
Also, God did not intend us to be alone for loneliness is not part of God’s design
which prevents the flow of peace and harmony. We have our heart to give to our
family by loving them and become more humanitarian to others. Let us understand the meaning of Eucharist
which is to give life as bread to the family of Christ.
