National Marriage Week 2018 Humanae Vitae Bulletin Insert
February 7-14, 2018
Celebrate the beauty and sanctity of marriage with Humanae Vitae (1968-2018):
- Married love particularly reveals its true nature and nobility when we realize that it takes its origin from God, who “is love” (no. 8).
- “Marriage . . . [is] 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” (no. 9; GS, no. 50).
- “The fundamental nature of the marriage act, . . . renders [husband and wife] capable of generating new life—and this as a result of laws written into the actual nature of man and of woman” (no. 12).
