Pope Francis' General Audience of 4/2/14
Excerpts: "Matrimony....leads us to the heart of God’s design,
which is a plan for a Covenant with his people, with us all, a plan for
communion. At the beginning of the Book of Genesis, the first book of
the Bible, at the culmination of the creation account it says: 'God
created man in Hs own image, in the image of God He created him; male
and female He created them.... Therefore a man leaves his father and his
mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh” (Gen 1:27;
2:24). The image of God is the married couple: the man and the woman;
not only the man, not only the woman, but both of them together. This is
the image of God: love, God’s covenant with us is represented in that
covenant between man and woman. And this is very beautiful! We are
created in order to love, as a reflection of God and His love. And in
the marital union man and woman fulfil this vocation through their
mutual reciprocity and their full and definitive communion of life"
