THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE
Self-denial and sacrifices are necessary, until the day when one will approach the altar with his or her fiancé(e), to seal the union before a priest and before Those up there (again he points upward)... before the Church, and before everyone, before all the Angels and Saints... for one's whole life.
When people who live in a free union - we have had to say this before - have not learnt how to practice self-denial and to make sacrifices, they will be no more able to do that within marriage.
It often happens... that a protestant man and a catholic woman, or the other way around, come and say: “Father, what should we do? Is there no solution? We would very much like to be married in the Catholic church.” They still say that. If only they had reflected beforehand, that marriage with a Protestant constitutes danger. So they come, and the priest holds out his hands to them and says: “Yes, we have our way of doing that. You can both come to the Catholic Church. We will make it an ecumenical service.”
That pleases the people; they lap it up. The Protestants in particular, say: “It was great for us to see something like that. It has done a lot for us.” Naturally, they do not see what a loss of graces and blessings the mixed marriage represents for the Catholic party. A good Catholic may not contract a protestant marriage. What will happen later on? The mother-in-law, the father-in-law, will assert themselves... and it will be very difficult for the Catholic partner to persevere.
Not to mention the fact that married life can often become very difficult, when the crosses will come unexpectedly and the husband and wife will have misunderstandings. If at those times, they do not share the same religion, or the same religious persuasion, that is an extra very heavy cross. Also, these things often give rise to arguments and irritations. Married life is often enough very rough.
We must say this in addition... She (he points upward) makes me say that everyone, before keeping company (going steady) (young men and young women alike), or when on the point of doing so, must without any delay, ask the prospective partner which religious persuasion he or she belongs to. If necessary, it must not go on; the logical conclusion must be drawn: break it off as becomes a good Soldier of Christ.
E: Heaven does not want mixed marriages?
B: Heaven does not want mixed marriages. It tolerates them, but it doesn't like them.
E: I believe that these are the things you had to tell us about the Sacraments; now would the Most blessed Virgin like you to tell us anything more about them? In the name...!
B: The Sacrament of Marriage must be contracted with all possible seriousness. Many years ago, at Cana, Christ first of all prayed for that couple, he exhorted them and counseled them about the life they should lead. He had them enclosed within His Heart. He loved them very much.
People who are invited to a wedding should also have the intention of praying in a special way for the young couple. Every time there is a marriage, all the people involved in the wedding, parents and friends, should pray, nothing but pray, for the couple so that they may attain the highest place in their state of life, that they may fulfill their spousal duties until death separates them. The whole matter should be taken much more seriously than it is.
E: “Until death separates them”
