Off the cuff remarks....
"....There are three words that are magic words, but important words in marriage. First of all, 'Please' [Permissio]....Second word: 'Sorry' [Scuzi].... And the third word: 'Thank you' [Graci]....
"God shows that He created man and woman in His image and likeness. And Jesus Himself, when He speaks of marriage, says: 'Man will leave his father and mother and with his wife they will become one flesh'. Because they are the image and likeness of God. You are an icon of God: the family is an icon of God. Man and woman: it is precisely the image of God. He said it, not me. And this is great, it is sacred....
"It may be that a man and a woman are not believers: but if they love and unite in marriage, they are the image and likeness of God, though they do not believe. It is a mystery: Saint Paul calls it the 'great mystery', 'great sacrament' (cf. Eph 5: 32). A true mystery.....
"The important thing is to love each other, receive the Sacrament, go ahead ...; and then hold all the parties you want, all of them....
"Children are the greatest gift....
"Have you ever asked yourselves why we do not see many dwarves on the streets? Because the protocol of many doctors – many, not all – is to ask the question: 'It this a problem?' It pains me to say so. In the last century the world was scandalized by what the Nazis did to ensure racial purity. Today we do the same thing, but wearing white gloves....
"to you I say: waste time with children, waste time with your sons and daughters, play with your children...."
