Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley of Boston encouraged thousands of pilgrims at a catechesis talk in Rio de Janeiro to choose carefully and use the right criteria when picking a spouse.
"Don't marry someone because they're rich or you share the same hobbies, marry someone because you share the same sense of mission," he said July 26 at the city's entertainment venue, Vivo Rio.
"Get married to have children!" he emphasized to the young people present.
Millions of pilgrims from across the globe poured into Rio for the July 23-28 World Youth Day events, which include three mornings of catechesis sessions with various bishops.
