Parish Priest at Our Lady of Holy Rosary Parish, Anthony Odoemelam says “marriage life is a commitment between a man and a woman”.
He encourages believers “to be loyal to each other as Jesus Christ was committed to our salvation”, Radio Emmanuel reported.
Fr Odoemelam “marriage life is a commitment between a man and a woman, Jesus was committed to the church, Jesus was committed to our salvation, Jesus was committed in redeeming us even when the cross was too heavy for Him. He was committed, can we be committed in our marriage life, can a man be committed to the wife? Can a woman be committed to the husband?” he questions.
The parish priest calls on Christians to be faithful and reflect on their marriage lives.
“Jesus was faithful even up to death can we be faithful, even up to death in our marriage life, can you and I be faithful as a man, as a woman how faithful are you to the oath that binds your marriage life, we are challenge today my dear people of God to reflect on our marriage lives. Jesus invites both you to come back to institutionalize your marriage lives so He can be at the centre of your marriage life”, he appeals.
The priest was giving his homily to the congregation at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary on Sunday.
