Married Love    (  Part 3) Finally, this love is fecund. It is also confined wholly to the loving interchange of husband and wife; it also contrives to go beyond this to bring new life into being. Marriage and conjugal love are by their nature ordained toward the procreation and education of children. Children are really the supreme gift of marriage and contribute in the highest degree to their parents welfare. ( Humanae Vitae - Paul VI, Pauline's Pub, no 9) Rev. Dcn. Nyonje 0704603297

Married Love.   Part 2 ...It is a love which is total - that very special form of personal friendship in which husband and wife generously share everything, allowing no unreasonable exceptions and not thinking solely of their own convenience. Whoever really loves his partner loves not only for what he receives, but loves that partner for the partner's own sake , content to be able to enrich the other with the gift of himself. Married love is also faithful and exclusive of all other , and this until death. This is how husband and wife understood it on the day on which,fully aware of what they were doing,they freely vowed themselves to one another in marriage. Though this fidelity of husband and wife sometimes presents difficulties,no one has the right to assert that it is impossible; it is on the contrary, always honorable and meritorious. The example of countless married couples proves not only that fidelity is in accord with the nature of marriage,but also that it is t

ON HUMAN LIFE Married Love part 1 In the light of these facts the characteristics features and exigencies of married love are clearly indicated,and it is of highest importance to evaluate them exactly. This love is above all fully human, a compound of sense and spirit. It is not, then merely a question of natural instinct or emotional drive. It is also, and above all, an act of the free will, whose trust is such that it is meant not only to survive the joys and sorrows of daily life,but also to grow,so as that husband and wife become in a way one heart and one soul, and together attain their human fulfillment.

DOCTRINE OF PURGATORY SCRIPTURAL BASIS In the New Testament, texts such as Matthew 5:26, 12:32 and 1Corinthians 3:10-15, are seen as the minor scriptural basis for Purgatory. The words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew leave the possibility that sins are forgiven not only in this world but also in the next. "... Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come..." ( Matthew 12:32) On the other hand, Joseph Ratzinger commenting on 1Cor 3:10-15 argues that purgatory is effected by the transforming power of the Lord himself who is the "fire judgement". In other words, purgatory is a process through which the human person is made conformable with Christ, God, and the entire community of the redeemed.

DOCTRINE OF PURGATORY Introduction  Christianity teaches that those who die in the state of grace but still burdened with temporal punishment due sin already forgiven or still having the guilty of venial sin must undergo purification after death.  In other words,those who are fundamentally in the state of grace at the time of death can increase in perfection after death until they have reached a state worth of the union with God.  According to Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), he views purgatory as the inwardly necessary process of transformation in which a person becomes capable of Christ, capable of God and thus capable of unity with the whole communion of Saints.
