Father Robert Altier’s Homily This Morning! Short Version

.
Joshua: “Israelites, who will you serve?”

Israelites: “We will serve the Lord for he is our God.”


St. Paul: "Wives
, be submissive to your husbands!”

St. Paul: "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loves the church and serve her and as you do your own bodies!”

What St. Paul Meant: "Wives, being under the orders of your husbands, accept his love and serve him as you do your own bodies!”

Father A: Eucharist and Matrimony are the most alike of the sacraments:

Father A: The Eucharist is the Gift of the Lord’s total commitment and love to those who serve Him, nothing held back. We are all “wives” of God, who is the Bridegroom of us all.

Father A: Matrimony is the Gift of the Husband’s and Wife’s total commitment and love to each other, nothing held back.
