In sickness and in Health... Forever in LIFE

Two become One

The Gospel of John gives us an account of how Jesus was invited to a wedding in Cana. It was at the celebration of marriage that Jesus performed His first miracle. This is no coincidence, but a deliberate honoring of marriage as a union of love between a man and a woman as a symbol of Christ’s own love for His church.


“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her”

– Ephesians 5:25
