Patron Saints of In Defense of Holy Matrimony

The patron saints of this movement will be everyone in this painting done by Bartolome Esteban Murillo.

It is called "The Two Trinities."

This expresses well the very essence of Holy Matrimony. It is a marriage in the eyes of God with direct correlation to the Holy Trinity.

The first Trinity is God and the Three Persons. The second is the Holy Family. Being that Jesus is a member of both Trinities, we clearly see a junction between the society of man and God. In the establishment of the hypostatic union the two Trinities was necessary.

This concept is so sublime I cannot begin to express the beauty inherent to this painting. It is the symbolism of what a Family truly is. It is the enmeshing of the Divine reality with the human world. It is based on a love that gives rather than take.

This alone symbolizes the sublime and divine beauty of Holy Matrimony.

Hence, the patron saints are St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Holy Ghost, and God the Father.

The Two Trinities - Pray for us.

In Defense of Holy Matrimony

This blog will be dedicated to defending the institution of Holy Matrimony from the attacks it is suffering today especially from the homosexual agenda and the licentious lifestyle of the modern world. More and more, there is a need to remind humanity what Holy Matrimony is.

Marriage, between a man and a woman, was established by God in the beginning of time. Through the centuries marriage has gone through development and perfection. Concepts like monogamy and indissolubility were understood as things that favored the development of a healthy family. It was based on lasting union between a man and a woman, which was the solid foundation where children can be born, raised and perfected. As families grew, the concept of extended family also became understood as necessary for the perfection of the individual and families. Society thus developed organically. When Jesus entered history, He enforced the concept of the indissolubility of marriage and blessed "natural marriage" under the Church He founded.

Holy Matrimony was born. It was natural marriage baptized by the waters of Christianity.

The institution of marriage was assumed into Christianity defended first by none other than Christ Himself.

This is what we admire. This is what we love. This is what we defend.
