Holy Matrimony: A Vocation of Service: Have you ever thought of marriage as a sacrament of communion? The heart of marriage is not emotional support within a domestic relationship, but rather the mutual giving of two entire lives. Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle compare and contrast how society and the Church view marriage and remind those partaking in and preparing for the sacrament that, when you serve your spouse and your children, you are truly serving Jesus Himself. **_Snippet from the Show_** Marriage is truly a crucible in the service of the people that you love. by Every Knee Shall Bow (Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast)
