parents.

Waking up early the follow-ing day, the group had a bounty

of food for breakfast. Family

games then followed that had

everybody laughing and enjoy-

ing.

Before the group left the

campsite, thirty families residing

around the area received goods

from the chapter.

Indeed the summer camp

was another beautiful andmemorable event enjoyed by

over sixty members (13 fami-

lies, 3 couples) who joined the

activity.

No one ever won a chess match by making only forward moves. Just like in life, sometimes we haveto move backward to take a better step forward.

Fireproof gave the viewers a

time to reflect on what is impor-

tant in a marriage relationship andhow to make it work. The activity

ended with the parents listening

to the wish lists read to them by

CH Guy Ceniza.

As the cold evening mist began

to cover the place, the parents

prepared for the evening meal

while the kids were busy writing

letters to their parents.

The day ended late as the

mothers were honored aroundthe campfire by the fathers and

the kids. At the same time chil-

dren had their turn to express

their love for their parents as

where man can really commune

with nature and its Creator.

While setting up the tents andpreparing for lunch, dark clouds

hovered over the place. Soon it

rained in the nearby vicinity, but

the campers only had a shower

over them- a strong manifesta-

tion of Gods loving protection.

The afternoon kids-bonding

activities facilitated by Connie

Sumalinog and Liza Cejas culmi-

nated with the children writing

their concerns and wish listsaddressed to the parents.

vised home theatrethe big tent

Being thankful in all circumstances is a sign of having a strong faith. Wearing a smile in times oftrials simply means living at peace with God.

Fr. Martin Okafor-Ilozue CSSp - BCBP Mactan BCLP19

Sacrament of MatrimonyPart1

Matrimony or marriage has been part and parcel of humanity since the begin-

ning of human beings. Following the biblical account of creation (Gen. 1 26-27),

God made man and woman and joined them together into marriage, thus becom-

ing the earliest known account of matrimonial union of man and woman. From the

ages past till today all cultures and people of the world had been performing matri-

monial rituals, establishing taboos and sanctions around it for the purpose of pro-

tecting the sanctity of its institution. The union of man and woman in marriage had

been considered as the legitimate avenue where humanity participated in procrea-

tion, doing the work originally done by God in creating Adam and Eve.

That marriage is an act of God, made it a sacrament, as we understood it to be.

Sacrament is a mystery, hence it is of God who is mystery itself. If marriage is a

sacrament and from God therefore, we are only called upon to participate in that

affair which belonged to God. Marriage does not belong to us, so when two peo-

ple, man and woman wed, they entered into a covenant with God the Author and

Origin of marriage.

Like in every other human desire and endeavors, marriage is also a vocation, a

call to give oneself for the good of the other. In marriage as a sacrament, Gods

love is poured out to those who participated in the covenant of marriage, and as a

vocation, the same love is shared among those who entered into covenant with

God in a holy matrimony.For a marriage to be, it must originate from God, lived in Gods presence with

holy fear and a complete willingness to sacrifice oneself for the love of the soul

mate with the fruits of it being the children that will be born as Gods blessing. Thetaboos and sanctions in marriage were primarily made to protect the institution of

marriage, to keep married couples faithful to each other, avoiding infidelity, unlaw-

ful expression of mutuality and to re-enforce the nurturing and care that come

with entering into a holy union. All these are essential components of being mar-

ried.

Being a father or a mother is an invitation to love infinitely or as one wants, in

extending the love between husband and wife to the children, marriage completes

its uniqueness as a Trinitarian symbolism, pointing to the end of reality as Christ

taught us, LOVE.

Fr. Martin

If marriage is asacrament and fromGod therefore, we

are only called uponto participate in thataffair which be-

longed to God.

Although I did not see its

I wondered how we can

provide for them. How we

can make them the per-

be. But Gods plan is flaw-

less. He renewed our faithand brought us to the

Brotherhood early on in

our marriage. Through the

BCBP He taught us how to

be Christian parents, how

to build a strong family of

It is not an easy task.

Getting married at

When the children

job to become a fulltime

have no regrets. For

that of a mother, can

give as much.
