THE TWO
BECOME ONE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “God made them male and female … the
two become one.” (Mark 10:1-12)
Reflection. At the heart of creation we find
marriage. It is not simply a device for procreation to perpetuate the tribe. It
is that, but in the revelation of the Son of God, the union of man and woman is
a sign of humanity coming together as one. The successes and failures of our
marriages mirror the successes and failures of our journey towards union or
communion as God’s people. And reaching towards union, which married people
have to do every day, is a sign of our reaching out to God and journey towards
a complete union with God, a journey we have long since begun.
Prayer. Lord, may we all be one as you and
the Father are one. Amen.
