Being Respect Life Sunday and with Today's Beautiful Readings, Shouldn't We be Hearing about the Unitive and Procreative Aspects of the Marital Embrance?

• "That is Why a Man Leaves His Father and Mother and Clings to His Wife, and the Two of Them Become One Flesh."
• "Your Wife Shall Be Like a Fruitful Vine in the Recesses of Your Home; Your Children Like Olive Plants."
• "He Who Consecrates and Those Who are being Consecrated All Have One Origin.  Therefore, He is Not Ashamed to Call Them 'Brothers.'"
• "If We Love One Another, God Remains in Us and His Love is Brought to Perfection in Us."
• "But From the Beginning of Creation, God Made Them Male and Female.  For this Reason a Man Shall Leave His Father and Mother and be Joined to His Wife, and the Two Shall Become One Flesh.  So They are No Longer Two But One Flesh.  Therefore What God Has Joined Together, No Human Being Must Separate." 

"And now, beloved sons, you who are priests, you who in virtue of your sacred office act as counselors and spiritual leaders both of individual men and women and of families—We turn to you filled with great confidence. For it is your principal duty—We are speaking especially to you who teach moral theology—to spell out clearly and completely the Church's teaching on marriage. In the performance of your ministry you must be the first to give an example of that sincere obedience, inward as well as outward, which is due to the magisterium of the Church.... if men's peace of soul and the unity of the Christian people are to be preserved, then it is of the utmost importance that in moral as well as in dogmatic theology all should obey the magisterium of the Church and should speak as with one voice" (Blessed Pope Paul VI,  Humanae Vitae, 1968).

"Spouses are called to celebrate their conjugal love by becoming one flesh in the Lord, and to see their sexual intimacy in the context of God's creative role and the nature of marriage itself. By remaining open to life each time they come together in the conjugal embrace, by preserving 'the two meanings of the conjugal act: the unitive meaning and the procreative meaning' (HV 12), married couples reverence the presence of God in their union....Humanae Vitae represents a call to celebrate and reverence God's vision of human sexuality" (USCCB, Human Sexuality from God's Perspective, 1993)
