A Novena to Blessed Michael McGivney.
Our faith teaches us that what we proclaim in the Eucharist, Christ’s death and resurrection, is also made present in that very action by the power of God’s love and goodness.
The Bible is a religious book, one which teaches us how God acts with man and in man for his salvation. Since it is a record of God’s dealings with His people in the past, it reflects the times and customs of these men. But it is not simply a history of civilization. God used people of those times, living by those customs to state the truth of what He was doing through His own people.
By its own admission, what our age finds most unacceptable in the Church’s perennial wisdom is her sexual morality. Almost every controversial issue dividing “dissenters,” inside the Church as well as outside, from the Church’s traditional teaching today is about sexual morality: fornication (sex outside marriage), contraception, homosexuality, divorce, and, most radically of all, abortion.
This lesson seeks to show that the teaching of the Catholic Church on sexual ethics, far from enslaving persons, liberates them and enables them to become fully themselves. The Catholic Church's teaching helps people come into possession of their desires and not be possessed by them. It does so because it is rooted in a profound reverence for human persons, male and female, as bodily, sexual beings, summoned from their depths to self-giving.
