Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

Is the modern world distorting the sacredness of marriage, sexuality, and human dignity? Join us as we tackle these pressing issues through the lens of St. John Paul II's profound concept of the primordial sacrament, as articulated in his Theology of the Body, audience #96.

Discover how understanding this sacrament is fundamental to grasping Catholic teachings amidst contemporary challenges like the trans movement, same-sex marriage, abortion, and contraception. We reveal how the primordial sacrament of marriage, instituted before sin, serves as a visible sign of God's eternal love and desire for intimacy with humanity.

Our discussion doesn't stop at marriage; we dive deep into the battle for human dignity. We contrast the sacred nature of human identity bestowed by God with the profanation of these gifts by Satan. Through parallels between Christ's sacrificial love at the Last Supper and today's cry of "my body, my right," we underline the antithesis of divine self-giving. With personal anecdotes and scriptural references, we emphasize the universal need for God's mercy and redemption, drawing attention to the pervasive influence of secularism and the deceptive tactics of Satan, the father of lies.

Finally, we explore the ongoing spiritual battle for eternal union, emphasizing the sanctity of marriage and its divine purpose. This episode sheds light on the importance of redemption through faith practices such as Mass, confession, and prayer. We stress the need for virtues like faith, hope, and love to guide our journey toward eternal life. By restoring the primordial sacrament of marriage, we believe society can address broader issues and return to a state of harmony and purpose. Join us for this vital conversation and reflect on how these themes apply to our lives and society today.
