Gospel in Focus
September 29, 2024 Jesus answers the Pharisees’ questions aboutmarriage and divorce. “But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female’.” —Mark 10:6
Discussion Questions
What do we learn about marriage in today’s Gospel?
Are there any married couples in our lives who we can pray for today? How can we pray for them?
God created you with a soul and body, and He says that both your soul and body are good! How can we thank God for the good gift of our bodies?
