Cling…and Become One Flesh

February 14, 2019

From today’s reading…

That is why a man leaves his father and mother

and clings to his wife,

and the two of them become one flesh.

The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame.”

God has never been alone because He is love, which requires someone else to love. God the Father loved God the Son and that love is manifested in God the Holy Spirit.

Which is why God said two days ago…

Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”

God knows life is better when you are with someone you love, which is why in an earlier part of today’s reading from Genesis He said…

It is not good for the man to be alone.”

So God made for man “a suitable partner.”

They started as one flesh and they united as one flesh in love, again following God’s instructions from our readings two days ago to

Be fertile and multiply.”

Joining your spouse to support one another by giving of yourselves fully in love to produce something greater than the sum of each other is the only way to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.
