All people are called to become saints. Saints are those who love God and obey his commands. While only God is inherently holy, through baptism Christians receive a calling to holiness. Souls in heaven are considered saints as they are with God and share in his holiness. The Church recognizes certain holy people as official saints if they lived exemplary Christian lives and are worthy examples to emulate. Though we venerate saints, we only adore God as the sole divine being. Saints were ordinary people who overcame difficulties and challenges through striving to love God above all else.

3. Meta jagħmlu hekk huma jaqblu li jqattgħu l-
kumplament ta’ ħajjithom f’relazzjoni ta’
mħabba bejniethom. Huma jkunu lesti li
jagħmlu kull sagrifiċċju għall-imħabba ta’
xulxin u ma jħallu lil ħadd u xejn ifixkel din l-
imħabba.
4. Huma wkoll
ikunu lesti
jilqgħu l-ulied
li jitwieldu
minn din l-
imħabba u
jgħinu lil
xulxin u lil
uliedhom
jikbru fl-
imħabba
t’Alla.
5. Meta raġel u mara
jiddeċiedu li
jiżżewġu bis-
sagrament taż-żwieġ
huma jkunu qed
jinkludu lil Alla fil-
ħajja tagħhom.
7. Fiż-żwieġ ma
jintużawx affarijiet
bħal fis-sagramenti
l-oħra għaliex huma
l-għarajjes stess li
jkunu qegħdin
iwegħedu lil xulxin
imħabbithom għal
ħajjithom kollha.
8. Fl-Evaġelju naqraw li
Ġesu’ tkellem dwar
iż-żwieġ u fisser il-
pjan t’Alla għall-
imħabba bejn raġel u
mara. Alla jrid li
żwieġ bejn raġel u
mara ma jinħallx
għaliex huma jkunu
saru ġisem wieħed –
ħaġa waħda.
9. Hija ħaġa tajba u
sabiħa li nidraw
nitolbu flimkien fil-
familja sabiex Alla
jkompli jbierek l-
imħabba ta’ bejn il-
miżżewġin. Il-familja
li titlob flimkien
tibqa’ flimkien.
