Matrimony, Touched by Grace

Description

Complete with scriptural references to the sacrament, Kathleen O’Connell Chesto chronicles the Church’s developing understanding of matrimony throughout its tradition, from the early Christian church to the Council of Trent to the Second Vatican Council to the present day. Understood as a sacrament in which two lives are joined in a blessed and life-giving union, matrimony is a sacrament that reminds us of Christ’s love for the Church.
