My dear parishioners, Last week we began our study of Paul VI’s Encyclical Letter On the Regulation of Birth Humanae Vitae. This week we continue with paragraphs 7 and 8, where he discusses God’s loving design: “7. The question of human procreation, like every other ques-tion which touches human life, involves more than the limited aspects specific to such disciplines as biology, psychology, de-mography or sociology. It is the whole man and the whole mis-sion to which he is called that must be considered: both its natu-ral, earthly aspects and its supernatural, eternal aspects. And since in the attempt to justify artificial methods of birth control many appeal to the demands of married love or of responsible parenthood, these two important realities of married life must be accurately defined and analyzed. This is what We mean to do, with special reference to what the Second Vatican Council taught with the highest authority in its Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the World of Today [Gaudium et Spes]. “8. Married love particularly reveals its true nature and nobility when we realize that it takes its origin from God, who ‘is love,’ (see 1 Jn 4:8) the Father ‘from whom every family in heav-en and on earth is named’ (Eph 3:15). Marriage, then, is far from being the effect of chance or the result of the blind evolution of natural forces. It is in reality the wise and provident institution of God the Creator, whose purpose was to effect in man His loving design. As a consequence, husband and wife, through that mutual gift of themselves, which is specific and exclusive to them alone, develop that union of two persons in which they perfect one another, cooperating with God in the generation and rearing of new lives. The marriage of those who have been baptized is, in addition, invested with the dignity of a sacra-mental sign of grace, for it represents the union of Christ and His Church.” Fr. Draper P.S. Special thanks to our Knights of Columbus, St. Patrick Women’s Organization, and all those who helped with the St. Patrick Parish Picnic last Sunday! The Lord really smiled upon us with beautiful weather and a great time.
