Fifth Week of Lent

“Whoever really loves his [marriage] partner loves not only for what he

receives, but loves that partner for the partner’s own sake,

content to be able to enrich the other with the gift of himself”

(Pope Paul VI, On the Regulation of Birth [Humanae Vitae], no. 9, at www.vatican.va).

Facing Issues Honestly When dealing with inevitable disagreements and differences, Christian married couples do well to consider the profound words quoted above. When they see that their marriage commitment centers in Christ, they can more easily address issues wisely and on a deeper level. This involves a mutual give and take and requires honest reflection and discussion. It is characterized by selflessness, kindness, and commitment to seek the good of the beloved before oneself. All Christians can do the same. When we see Jesus as the center of our lives and recognize all people as our neighbors, we look to him as the source of wisdom in addressing differences in business or among colleagues, family members, or friends. In so doing, we grow in an appreciation of our gifts and weaknesses. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to teach

us to face issues honestly. Lent & Easter Reflections: Cultivating the Gift of Self By

Reverend Robert J. Hater, PhD Professor Emeritus: University of Dayton and Professor of Pastoral and

Systematic Theology: Athenaeum of Ohio

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

“No one wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg. Abortion is a tragic attempt to escape a desperate situation by an act of violence and self-loss. Abortion is not a sign that women are free, but a sign that they are desperate.”
