Marriage between a man and a woman is God's original plan, and as the beautiful statement in the Nuptial Mass reminds us it is «the one blessing not
destroyed by Original Sin, or washed away in the flood».
Even though, according to Catholic teaching, human freedom has not been
destroyed by original sin, it has nevertheless been deeply wounded; hence, though God need not completely re-create it, it yet needs his loving help.
Please strengthen the brethren in upholding faithfulness to God's original plan for the lifelong union of man and woman in marriage, the plan not
destroyed by Original Sin or washed away in the flood, the plan entrusted by God to his bride, the Church.
