The Fifteenth precept, on Matrimony

Chapter 15: The Fifteenth precept, on Matrimony "The sacrament of Matrimony comes next : it has a two-fold institution ; one, as it is a civil contract by the natural law; another, as it is a sacrament by the law of the Gospel. Of both institutions we shall briefly speak, not absolutely, but only as regards teaching us how to live well, that so we may die well. Its first institution was made by God in paradise ; for these words of God, "It is not good for man to be alone," cannot properly be understood, unless they have relation to some means of propagating the human race." Please remember to pray for all who made these information available to you. Source: "The Art of Dying Well" by St. Robert Bellarmine Translated from the latin by Fr. John Dalton Read by: Maureen S.
