The Sacrament of Marriage (Catechism Series Part 28) - Auspice Maria Ep 58

Auspice Maria with Bishop James Ruggieri

Bishop James Ruggieri closes the Catechism's series on the seven sacraments with Holy Matrimony. He traces marriage from creation itself through Christ's presence at Cana, explaining how a man and woman become ministers of the sacrament through free consent. He unpacks conjugal love, the gift of children, and the family as a domestic church. Bishop Ruggieri also speaks directly to married couples, single people, and those who are divorced or divorced and remarried. He addresses the Church's teaching on annulment with honesty and compassion. He closes the sacraments series with a prayer for every state of life, and a Hail Mary for all who listen.
