"Be it done unto me according to Thy word."

  • Martyr to Married Love: Catherine of Aragon (National Catholic Register, 3/25/20)
    • "To choose to stand firm in one’s marriage having experienced the utter devastation of spousal betrayal and to live a life of fidelity in the face of abandonment are most assuredly signs of contradiction to the world.... Many of us are personally aware of marriages, and families, that were restored after many years because of the commitment of a civilly divorced spouse.  Let’s tell their stories. Let’s find ways to highlight the courage and determination of these faithful for the benefit of young and old, married, single and engaged, clergy and religious.  Indeed, each one serves as a living reminder of the fidelity shown to us by God.  In the words of Pope St. John Paul, 'On the part of God, the covenant is a lasting commitment; He remains faithful to His spousal love, even if the bride often shows herself to be unfaithful'” (Dr. Hillary Towers, National Catholic Register, 10/2/15)
