St. Paul writes that marriage was actually designed by God himself to be a visible and tangible sign of his own love for humankind. So if our relationship with God is like a marriage, and marriage is about a lifelong covenant in which a man and a woman live to give themselves entirely to each other, how do we give ourselves completely to God? A better question still is: how does God give himself fully to us? Is that even possible? What would my life be like if I was totally God&#8217;s, and he was totally mine?<\/p>\n<p>The answer can be summed up in two words: The Sacraments. This is how God, our divine spouse, is ever seeking to draw us to himself and to give himself to us.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of this Fall, we will dive into the staggering realities of the Sacraments, how they are God&#8217;s means of coming to be with us, how they are our means of sharing in God&#8217;s very life, and how they might radically transform the way we perceive and live out our lives as the Church, the spouse of God.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning October 5th, at 7:15 pm, and continuing weekly throughout the Fall, we&#8217;ll gather in the Parish Hall at St. Peter&#8217;s. We&#8217;re looking forward to gathering with many of you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning Wednesday, October 5 at 7:15 pm and continuing weekly throughout the Fall Our faith is often described as a marriage between God and humanity.
