The domestic church is like an enclosed garden; a planned space
for the cultivation, nurture and care of the family.
The union of a baptized man and a baptized woman in Holy Matrimony is the beginning of a domestic church, which is the smallest unit of the universal Catholic Church. The love of a husband and a wife is a love between them; there are not two loves but one love that unites them (from “Love and Responsibility” by St. Pope John Paul II). There is a third element between spouses, yet that element makes them one. Does that remind us of another mystery? |
