These Scripture passages can help you remember the call to your mission as a spouse and Christian.Most people want a great love story. But that story becomes far more beautiful with God as its author and guide.
In the homily he gave on October 21, 2001, on the occasion of the beatification of the Italian couple Luigi and Maria Beltrame Quattrocchi, Pope John Paul II emphasized an essential aspect of their life.
