Greetings all!
This week we continue with the sixth chapter of The Joy of Love. Any walk
through a book store and you'll see rows and rows of self‐help books. Podcasts and resources
abound which aim to coach us through countless aspects of life. However, for some reason
there is a tendency to think that marriage and family are skills which don't need honing.
This sixth chapter draws out for us the importance of being formed to recognize and live
the Joy of Love. Firstly, priests must look at the ways their own families have shaped their view
of marriage. They are called to recognize the good that they have received from their families
and healing for the pains. Along with the work of the priest, a parish family is invited to be a
place where a healthy married life is learned.
As a couple approaches their marriage, their concerns and energy can be consumed by
many things. Amidst the tremendous efforts it takes to send the announcements and invites, to
coordinate calendars and dresses, to prepare parties and honeymoons the importance of
preparing for an entirely new phase can be overlooked. "Another great challenge of marriage
preparation is to help couples realize that marriage is not something that happens once for all…
By saying “I do”, they embark on a journey that requires them to overcome all obstacles
standing in the way of their reaching the goal."
Perhaps most formative to a couple who is newly married is the witness of couples who
have grown in their marriage over time. Rather than seeing marriage as an event which happens
on a Saturday afternoon and then left as a decision in the past, we are invited to see the
Sacrament of Marriage of being in a constant state of process. Through the many changes which
happen in life, i.e. children, jobs, sickness, mistakes, they are invited to realize, that every crisis
can be a new “yes”, enabling love to be renewed, deepened and inwardly strengthened.
Towards the conclusion of this chapter, Pope Francis also acknowledges the times in
which for the sake of the dignity and/or safety of parties involved, separation becomes a tragic
option and last resort. " In some cases, respect for one’s own dignity and the good of the
children requires not giving in to excessive demands or preventing a grave injustice, violence or
chronic ill‐treatment. In such cases, “separation becomes inevitable. At times it even becomes
morally necessary, precisely when it is a matter of removing the more vulnerable spouse or
young children from serious injury due to abuse and violence, from humiliation and exploitation,
and from disregard and indifference.”
May we accept with humility the reality of our imperfection and the need to be formed in
marriage.
Until next time,
Fr. Chuck Dornquast
Parochial Vicar

¡Saludos a todos!
Esta semana continuamos con el sexto capítulo de La Alegría del Amor. Cualquiera puede
caminar a través de una tienda de libros y podrá ver filas y filas de libros de autoayuda. Podcasts y recursos
abundan cuyo objetivo es entrenarnos a través de innumerables aspectos de la vida. Sin embargo, por
alguna razón, no hay una tendencia a pensar que el matrimonio y la familia son habilidades que no
necesitan perfeccionar.
Este sexto capítulo saca la importancia de estar formado para reconocer y vivir la Alegría del Amor.
En primer lugar los sacerdotes deben observar las formas de sus propias familias han plasmado su visión
sobre el matrimonio. Se les llama a reconocer el bien que han recibido de sus familias y la curación de los
dolores. Junto con el trabajo del sacerdote, se invita a una familia parroquial para ser un lugar donde se
aprende una vida matrimonial saludable.
Como una pareja se acerca a su matrimonio, sus preocupaciones , la energía estos pueden ser
consumidos por muchas cosas. En medio de los enormes esfuerzos que toman para enviar los avisos de
invitación, para coordinar calendarios y vestidos, para preparar los partidos y la luna de miel la importancia
de prepararse para una fase completamente nueva puede pasar por alto. "Otro gran reto de la
preparación para el matrimonio es ayudar a las parejas que se den decuenta que el matrimonio no es algo
que sucede una vez por todas ... Al decir"Yo Sí," se embarcan en un viaje que les obliga a superar todos los
obstáculos que se interponen en el camino de su llegar al Gol."
Tal vez lo más formativo para una pareja que está recién casada es el testimonio de las parejas que
han crecido en su matrimonio durante su tiempo casados. En lugar de ver el matrimonio como un
acontecimiento que ocurre en un sábado por la tarde y luego a la izquierda como una decisión en el
pasado, se nos invita a ver el Sacramento del Matrimonio de estar en un constante estado de proceso. A
través de los muchos cambios que ocurren en la vida, es decir, los niños, los cambios de trabajo,
enfermedades, errores, las parejas se dan cuenta, después de todo, que toda crisis puede ser un nuevo
"sí", el amor que permite que se renueva, se profundize y fortalesca internamente.
Hacia el final de este capítulo, el Papa Francisco también reconoce los tiempos en los que en aras
de la dignidad y / o la seguridad de las partes involucradas, la separación se convierte en una opción
trágica y último recurso. "En algunos casos, el respeto a la propia dignidad y el bien de los niños exige no
ceder a las demandas excesivas o prevenir una grave injusticia, la violencia o malos tratos crónicos. En
tales casos, la" separación se hace inevitable.” A veces incluso se convierte moralmente necesario,
precisamente cuando se trata de una cuestión de quitar el cónyuge más vulnerable o niños pequeños de
lesiones graves debido al abuso y/o la violencia, de la humillación y la explotación, y desde el
desconocimiento y la indiferencia ."
Podemos aceptar con humildad la realidad de nuestra imperfección y la necesidad de formarnos en
el matrimonio.
Hasta la próxima vez,
P. Chuck Dornquast
