OCTOBER 7, 2012 . TWETY-SEVETH SUDAY I ORDIARY TIME

About one-third of marriages end in divorce in the United States. The reasons

for such an outcome are as varied as the individuals involved. Few of those who dodivorce experience the high-profile questioning and scrutiny that public figures likecelebrities or politicians do when they go through a divorce. Recent events in the pastfew months show that the private lives of public figures are never really private.

The Gospel this weekend tackles the closest of human relationships: the mar-riage of a man and a woman. In Mark's story, Jesus quotes the Book of Genesis, push-ing together verses from the first and second chapters. In the first chapter of Genesis,humankind is created male and female in the divine image. In the second story ofcreation in chapter 2, the creation of woman is described as coming out of man, which

is why the man now clings to his wife and the two become one.In reflecting this biblical understanding of marriage, the church expects that a

sacramental marriage between a man and a woman is permanent, a sign of the unionbetween Christ and his people. At the same time, for a variety of reasons, the churchrecognizes that not every marriage may be a full and complete sacramental union.

Sometimes the love that was professed on the wedding day was not a full and freelygiven consent to be joined together as one. That is why after a divorce, one or theother party may seek an annulment through the church, recognizing that the first union was not the full and completesign of unity that is an example of Christ's complete love for us. If you, or someone you know, are divorced, please be apart of Sunday worship with the community of faith. If you've not yet spoken with a priest about your situation call the

parish office to make a confidential appointment. As the Gospel suggests, Christ wants to embrace all his children.
