Conjugal love, one of the Most Beautiful Miracles  Presentation of the Message of the Extraordinary Synod. The Bishops remind us of the importance of a precise itinerary of love so that the union between two people may be genuine
"A light that warms the bodies and the souls appears each time when a man and a woman meet and decide to give themselves to each other forever." The Synod Fathers affirm this in the Message of the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, made public on Saturday morning during the XIV General Congregation. Continuing the description of the luminous encounter of love between two people, the Assembly then recalled that, in order for the union to become authentic, the route that leads there must begin by their engagement, "a time of waiting and preparation. It is realized in the sacrament where God sets his seal, his presence, and grace. This path also includes sexual relationship, tenderness, intimacy, and beauty capable of lasting longer than the vigor and freshness of youth. Such love, of its nature, strives to be forever to the point of laying down one’s life for the beloved (cf. Jn 15:13). In this light conjugal love, which is unique and indissoluble, endures despite many difficulties. It is one of the most beautiful of all miracles and the most common."
