St. Anthony of Padua - Ottawa

Marriage
- In Catholicism marriage is a sacrament that a baptized man and a baptized woman administer to each other through their marriage vows and lifelong partnership.
  Given that to a Catholic sacramental marriage reflects the union of Christ with the church as his mystical body, marriage is understood to be an indissoluble union.
  The rite commonly takes place during a Mass, with a priest serving as the minister of the Mass and as a witness to the mutual consent of the couple.
  The marriage union is used to sanctify both the husband and wife by drawing them into a deeper understanding of God’s love and is intended to be fruitful, with any children to be raised within the teachings of the church.
- Nel cattolicesimo il matrimonio è un sacramento che un uomo battezzato e una donna battezzata si amministrano l'un l'altro attraverso i voti matrimoniali e l'unione per tutta la vita.
  Dato che per un matrimonio sacramentale cattolico riflette l'unione di Cristo con la Chiesa come suo corpo mistico, il matrimonio è inteso come un'unione indissolubile.
  Il rito si svolge comunemente durante una Messa, con un sacerdote che funge da ministro della Messa e da testimone del mutuo consenso della coppia. L'unione matrimoniale è intesa a santificare sia il marito che la moglie, portandoli a una comprensione più profonda dell'amore di Dio e a una fruttuosa consonanza a crescere tutti i figli secondo gli insegnamenti della Chiesa.
