"Witnesses of Conjugal Love" -
Homily of Jose Cardinal Saraiva Martins
at the Mass of Beatification
|
 "While I was reading the Apostolic Letter of the Holy Father, I thought of my father and my mother, and I would like, now, for you also to think of your Papa and your Mama, so that together we may thank God for having created and made us Christians through the conjugal love of our parents. If having been given life is a marvellous thing, for us, it is yet more admirable that our parents led us to the Church, which alone is capable of making Christians. No one can make himself a Christian by himself."
Read more to see the Cardinal's reflections on the Martin spouses as a gift to engaged couples, spouses, parents, educators, those who have lost a spouse, and those who must face coming death.
