Gospel of the Day
Mt 19, 3-12.
In the beginning.
Were some Pharisees came to Jesus and, to test him, he said: "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?". He replied: "Have not you read that the Creator from the beginning 'made them male and female', and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and two become one flesh '? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Let no man separate what God has joined. " He replied: "Then why did Moses command divorce deliver a statement when one is separated?". He replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce his wife, because of the hardness of your hearts, but at first was not. So I say: He who divorces his wife, except in case of illegal marriage, and marries another commits adultery. " His disciples said: "If this is the situation of man in relation to his wife, not to marry." He answered: "Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. Indeed, some do not marry, because they were born helpless breast of his mother, others because they were castrated by men, and there are others who decided not to marry because of the kingdom of heaven. He who can understand, you understand! ".
Reflection:
One of the sayings of Jesus in the Gospel of today is: "From the beginning it was not so." With this the Lord gives a confirmation that the creation of man is as Genesis tells us, meaning that we come from a man, Adam, and a woman, Eve, who were created perfect, but then fell from that state by sin. And this we must take into account that in these times it is said everywhere that man descended from something like a monkey and thrown overboard Truth of Creation of our first parents, Adam and Eve. So we must stand for truth and condemn the error of Darwinism and similar theories.
Let us ask the Blessed Virgin the grace to recognize our dignity as children of God, as we descend two perfect beings, but decayed in sin, not monkeys.
Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls.
