Marriage Should Reflect Christ s Love By Clifford M. Yeary Associate Director Little Rock Scripture Study Celebrating Paul - 7th in a series from Little Rock Scripture Study. The Little Rock Scripture Study groups, lead by Deacon Mike Monnelly, are currently studying the Letters of Paul. When modern readers engage with Paul s teachings regarding marriage, three concerns often arise. First, how highly does Paul actually regard marriage? He seems to respect it, but doesn t he also treat it as an option meant for those in danger of succumbing to their baser passions? Then, there is the matter of the relationship of the spouses to each other. Is it fair to say that Paul regards the stature of wives as something less than that of their husbands? Finally, what of the religious or sacramental nature of marriage? Is there a distinctly Christian aspect to marriage? When considering Paul s teaching on marriage, the best place to start is in First Corinthians chapter 7. Not only does he address the Corinthians own questions about marriage there, it is also an early letter of Paul. We will want to look at Colossians and Ephesians as well, because, even if they were actually written by Paul s disciples rather than by Paul himself, as many scholars suggest, they still represent extremely valuable summations of Paul s theology. Chapter 7 of First Corinthians opens with Paul quoting a statement the Corinthians use as blanket advice not only to those contemplating marriage, but even to those already married (verse 1): It is a good thing for a man not to touch a woman. Paul s response clearly shows his respect for the dignity of marital love. Husbands and wives should not deprive each other of physical love, Paul replies in verse 3, except on those occasions where they mutually agree to spend time in prayer instead. According to Paul, sexual love between a man and a woman in the context of marriage is something they should give each other! Paul, however, is also focused on his own commitment to being absolutely free to proclaim the Gospel wherever in the world God calls him to go. Such freedom is not always enjoyed by those who must also care for the needs of a spouse, and so Paul encourages those who can make the commitment to celibacy for the sake of the Gospel to do so. He is also confident that the Lord s return will come quickly. The day-to-day concerns of family life strike Paul as a distraction from his total dedication to Christ. Today, as ever, the Church affirms celibacy as a valuable sign of the ultimate importance of God s kingdom. Whether penned by Paul himself or by those who wished to publish his teachings, Colossians and Ephesians give us rich insights into Paul s appreciation for marriage as a participation in the life of Christ. Colossians 3:18-21 plainly tells wives to be subordinate to their husbands. Titus 2:4-5 is another Pauline instruction that seems to put this same responsibility entirely upon wives. The message in Colossians seems to be repeated in Ephesians 5:21-23. Lectors everywhere dread the possibility that they might be asked to proclaim Ephesians message of a wife s subordination on the 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time (cycle B). But the lectionary does give us the liberty of skipping the line that makes many of us uncomfortable in verse 22, to begin instead with verse 25: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church and handed himself over for her. Of particular interest, however, is the opening phrase in verse 21: Be subordinate to one another out of reverence for Christ. Colossians fails to stress this need for mutual subordination in marriage, but because it does appear in Ephesians, it ought to be taken seriously. Husbands are also called to be subordinate to their wives! Paul and his disciples may have had difficulty at times in seeing past many cultural attitudes regarding gender relations in marriage, but they were ultimately attentive to Jesus call to each of us to be servants to one another (see Matthew 23:11, Luke 22:26). Ephesians 5:25-33 goes on to reveal something greater concerning marriage, however. It tells us that when husbands truly love their wives and cherish them as their own flesh, marriage becomes a way to describe Christ s own love for us. The image of the Church and Christ as bride and groom is rooted in God s love for the Hebrew people (Jeremiah 2:2) and in Jesus own description of himself as the bridegroom (Mark 2:19). As a metaphor it ought to inspire rejoicing in the hearts of God s people. This is only possible, however, if our marriages are lived in such mutual respect for each other that they present some glimmer of the joy we are ultimately called to in the kingdom of God.

Basilica Portal (A continuation from last week s article) 3. Fleur-de-lis and Roses Two long, slender niches with stone tracery canopies are recessed in the wall to the upper right and left hand side of the portal. Immediately below them, two ornamental designs are cut in bas-relief, that of the Fleur-de-lis on one side and that of the rose on the other. Again, the themes of the Mystical Rose and the lily, pure as the Virgin, recur in the basilica - from the front wall of the portal to the adornment of the candlesticks on the altar and the pattern of the golden canopy above it. 4. Crowns Above the central panel under the main archway is a carved crown of open tracery cut from limestone. The immense, handwrought light fixtures bracketed to the wall on either side of the doorway are also capped with a simple ring of pointed edges, to form a plain, unadorned crown. Crowns, symbols of Mary s royalty, are also to be found in the light fixtures in the nave to the doors in the rear wall of the sanctuary. 5. Wheat and grapes The concave moulding of the semi-circular archivolt is beautified with carved figures of stalks of wheat and bunches of grapes. Symbols of the Holy Eucharist, the same motif will be found in the ornamental bronze panels of the Communion Railing. 6. Cross Dominating the adornment of the portal is a Crucifixion group carved in limestone, the figures slightly smaller than life-size, the entire ensemble modeled after the sketches of the late famous sculptor, Eugene Romeo. This statuary group, the most prominent decoration on the façade, expresses the very essence of sacred art, the basic historic fact upon which the salvation of mankind rests.
