Overview

Marriage as Grace rests on one conviction: that Christian marriage is first a work of grace, and that its beauty is rediscovered by re-entering its theology. The course gathers sixty years of the Church's recovery of this insight, from the Second Vatican Council and Familiaris Consortio to the recent text Una Caro, and offers it to those who form, accompany and live the sacrament. It moves from Genesis to Christ the Bridegroom, from the Fathers to the Second Vatican Council and into the lived experience of couples today, teaching theology and pastoral practice together. It treats the four graces of the sacrament, indissolubility, fidelity, fecundity and self-gift, as the working architecture of a Christian marriage.
