Marriage : Love and life in the Divine plan A Pastoral Letter of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 INTRODUCTION: THE BLESSING AND GIFT OF Marriage Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens. (Eph 1:3) Among the many blessings that God has showered upon us in Christ is the blessing of Marriage , a gift bestowed by the Creator from the creation of the human race. His hand has inscribed the vocation to Marriage in the very nature of man and woman (see Gn 1:27-28, 2:21-24).
Our pastoral letter is an invitation to discover, or perhaps rediscover, the blessing given when God first established marriage as a natural institution and when Christ restored and elevated it as a sacramental sign of salvation. 5 Pope Benedict XVI, Charity in Truth (Caritas in Veritate) (Washington, DC: USCCB, 2009), no. 1.
