The Words Of Jesus
Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures
1 ‘It has also been said, Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a writ of dismissal. * 32 But I say this to you, everyone who divorces his wife, except for the case of an illicit marriage, * makes her an adulteress; and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Matthew 5:31–32, NJB)
When someone divorce his wife or a wife divorce her husband they make their wife or husband an adulterer. This way the sin of adultery will be a punishable mortal sin. Whoever remarries a wife or husband becomes an adulterer. So the Catholic Church never entertain divorces for a married couple but the church encourages them to reconcile with each other by giving them time to think about the future. This is one way to overcome the divided life of them and the divided life of their children, which is very painful when the children live a life with a single parent.
Let us pray for the married couples and their families to overcome any difficulties in their life and to live their life with full of love and compassion, by imitating a meek and humble heart of Jesus.
