Guadalajara, Mexico, Dec 15, 2010 / 11:53 am
Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez, Archbishop of Guadalajara, Mexico recently highlighted the importance of marriage, calling it “a service to life, to love, to humanity, but above all, a service to God,” who “created man and woman to cooperate in creation, to transmit life and to care for it.”
For this reason, he said, it is important that “families always pray, because God can do much more than any of us and He can overcome all those who wish to destroy” the family.
The cardinal spoke Dec. 11 at the 2nd Meeting of Families at the Guadalajara Convention Center.
Only prayer, education and the understanding of the mysticism of marriage on the part of spouses can counteract the attacks on the family in recent times, the cardinal said.
