In the second reading for this weekend, St. Paul offers a beautiful description of all that love should be. This teaching is appropriate for all kinds of love - love between family members, love between friends, and love between spouses. It offers a blueprint of how to live in harmony with those important to us.

I just learned that Pope Benedict has recognized a miraculous cure through the intercession of Blessed Andre Bessette that will open the way for him to be canonized a saint. I am thrilled.

Something struck me as I was helping my dear friend, Marie, prepare for her wedding this past weekend: Her groom was always on her mind. And, I don't just mean that she was thinking of how much she adores him (which she clearly does). I mean that, as she made decisions throughout the weekend and explained some of her choices about the wedding, it was clear that she was making such decisions with Charles in mind.

For several weeks now, Jon and Kate Gosselin, stars of the reality show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" have been in all the headlines. Their divorce and what will happen to their 8 children have been at the forefront of gossip and speculation. While divorce is an all too typical and easy answer for couples who "fall out of love" these days, I believe that one can never prepare for the devastation a divorce brings into the lives of the spouses and the children. But even more so, I believe something about divorce that is completely contrary to modern social thinking today... that the very breaking point in a marriage relationship is actually an opportunity for a greater, more exciting love.
