The readings of today reiterate that the sacrament of marriage is an
indissoluble union in God’s plan and purpose. But this seems to be a
contradiction in today’s understanding and practice. Today marriage
is a very fragile institution in our permissive society and more and
more people are trying to consciously avoid it. The marriage as a
permanent union is founded on the value of unity and interdependence, and God accompanying it with His grace will make it a permanent union. God is ever faithful and when married persons share in
His faithfulness, they will reflect the faithfulness of God and will make
the marriage a living sacrament.

del matrimonio, e i comportamenti richiesti per fare parte del
regno di Dio.
Gesù cambia scena (Mc 10,1): va in Giudea. Espone con autorità messianica - non a un gruppo ma al popolo - l’indissolubilità del matrimonio come un principio universale. San Marco
non entra nelle discussioni dei rabbini sulla legislazione del
divorzio. Coglie con fedeltà le parole di Gesù, senza tener conto della clausola eccezionale trasmessa da (Mt 19,9). Marco,

Something to think about..
God’s plan for marriage was that of a man and woman “
become one flesh” This teaching calls each one of us to
live out our own vocation in life as fully as possible, allowing that because of human weakness the ideal is not always totally achievable.
The “ little children” in the Gospel represent those who are
among the most weak and vulnerable in society, without
power or status. They act spontaneously by “ receiving “ .
Am I receptive to the kingdom, since it comes to me as free
gift from God’s bountiful hands?

SCRIPTURE READINGS
Entrance Antiphon
You will be happy and prosper. R.
Within your will, O Lord all things are established, and there is none that can resist
your will. For you have made all things, the
heaven and the earth, and all that is held
within the circle of heaven; you are the
Lord of all.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive,
around your table. R.
First Reading: Genesis 2:18-24
A reading from the book of Genesis
The Lord God said, 'It is not good that the
man should be alone. I will make him a
helpmate.' So from the soil the Lord God
fashioned all the wild beasts and all the
birds of heaven. These he brought to the
man to see what he would call them; each
one was to bear the name the man would
give it. The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of heaven and all the wild
beasts. But no helpmate suitable for man
was found for him. So the Lord God made
the man fall into a deep sleep. And while
he slept, he took one of his ribs and enclosed it in flesh. The Lord God built the rib
he had taken from the man into a woman,
and brought her to the man. The man exclaimed:
'This at last is bone from my bones
and flesh from my flesh!
This is to be called woman,
for this was taken from man.'
This is why a man leaves his father and
mother and joins himself to his wife, and
they become one body.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm: Ps 127
R. May the Lord bless us
all the days of our lives.
O blessed are those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways!
by the labour of your hands you shall eat.
Indeed thus shall be blessed
the man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
in a happy Jerusalem
all the days of your life!
May you see your children's children.
On Israel, peace! R.
Second Reading: Hebrews 2:9-11
A reading from the letter to the Hebrews
We see in Jesus one who was for a short
while made lower than the angels and is
now crowned with glory and splendour
because he submitted to death; by God's
grace he had to experience death for all
mankind.
divorce his wife?' They were testing him.
He answered them, 'What did Moses command you?' 'Moses allowed us' they said
'to draw up a writ of dismissal and so to
divorce.' Then Jesus said to them, 'It was
because you were so unteachable that he
wrote this commandment for you. But from
the beginning of creation God made them
male and female. This is why a man must
leave father and mother, and the two become one body. They are no longer two,
therefore, but one body. So then, what God
has united, man must not divide.' Back in
the house the disciples questioned him
again about this, and he said to them. 'The
man who divorces his wife and marries
another is guilty of adultery against her.
And if a woman divorces her husband and
marries another she is guilty of adultery
too.'
People were bringing little children to him,
for him to touch them. The disciples turned
