Today is day 326 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment.

326. Is divorce ever permitted?

The New Testament permits divorce in some cases; however, out of love for his people, God hates divorce because it severs what he has joined, causes immeasurable pain, and destroys family life. (Matthew 5:31–32; 19:7–9; 1 Corinthians 7:10–16)

We will conclude today by praying Prayer 42. For the Human Family found on page 659 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
