Man is Given the Freedom to Live Without Sin

Rev George Glinsky

The apostle Paul has some words that are to some extent discouraging. He considers that he is a wretched person, and explains why: “I want to do good, but I do evil. I intend to live according to God’s commandments, but I am unable”. But if we contemplate the words of the apostle, and, of course, we see ourselves in them in certain situations, we should then in fact experience great joy.

Sanfilippo’s “Conjugal Friendship”

Fr. Lawrence Farley

One may have four friends or more, but (in Christian thought) only one spouse. Conjugal union is, by definition, a union of two and only two, because it is sexual. Friends stand symbolically side by side; spouses, face to face. The face to face posture of spouses expresses, both symbolically and physically, the sexuality of their union, and its essential difference from Friendship.
