The Holy Matrimony
By Peace | September 22, 2008
God Himself is the author of marriage
Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the image and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of ‘the wedding-feast of the lamb’. Scripture speaks throughout of marriage and its ‘mystery’, its institution and the meaning of God has given it, its origin and its end, its various realizations throughout the history of salvation, the difficulties arising from sin and its renewal ‘in the Lord’ in the New Covenant of Christ and the Church.
This was my matrimonial home. It was blessed by Father Giles.
This is Richard’s maternal grandmother, a woman of great hospitality. I attended her funeral… the chinese funeral with taoist priests… and I dreamed of her…
This is Richard and me, our Chinese wedding day, offering tea to the elders. That was my mother-in-law’s house. The tea-offering was held in front of the altar, just like my case. I do not know exactly what Richard’s mother prayed to… but if I remembered correctly, it is a statue with white beard (Tua Pek Kong if this is correct).
This is my mother’s house, offering tea to my parents, in front of the altar. The brown Mary as shown in the photograph is the same as that I saw on 7th September 2008.
This is Richard and me at our church wedding. It was not a grand church wedding. I do not even know how to organize a proper church wedding…. it was really a simple and ‘basic’ church wedding only…
Marriage In God’s Plan
The marriage covenant, by which a man and a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love, has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by the Creator. By its very nature it is ordered to the good of the couple, as well as to the generation and education of children. Christ the Lord raised marriage between the baptized to the dignity of a sacrament.
