Damian Owens: Marriage

Marriage is a vocation to holiness. The “primordial sacrament,” according to John Paul II, was instituted at the beginning of creation to be a sign of God’s love for man. Here in this video, Damon Owens shares with you his ministry to married couples as well as the beauty of marriage and family. “You lay down your lives,” Damon reminds couples when they approach the altar, “and you rise up as one.” And it doesn’t end there. “It’s the beginning of school, not your graduation.” Indeed, as Damon discusses, the Sacrament of Marriage, through the mutual gift of self, bears fruit in the family where we find our security and identity. Damon calls on us to recover a sense of wonder and reverence for our families. For it is in the family that we first discover the name of God the Father, “from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named” (Eph 3:15).
