“If the world is made to furnish each individual with the means of livelihood and the instruments for his growth and progress, each man has therefore the right to find in the world what is necessary for himself. The recent Council reminded us of this: "God intended the earth and all that it contains for the use of every human being and people. Thus, as all men follow justice and unite in charity, created goods should abound for them on a reasonable basis."” PeopleIfsMenWorldShouldHumansMeanMadeUseEarthPoliticsIndividualGrowthJusticeHuman BeingsEconomyProgressBasesInstrumentsCharityLiberalismReasonableGoodsCouncilLivelihood Author:Pope Paul VI

“An eternal marriage is eternal. Eternal implies continuing growth and improvement. It signifies that love will grow stronger with time and that it extends beyond the grave. It means that each partner will be blessed with the company of the other partner forever. Eternal signifies repentance, forgiveness, long-suffering, patience, hope, charity, love, and humility. All of these things are involved in anything that is eternal, and surely we must learn and practice them if we intend to claim an eternal marriage.” IfsMeanLongSufferingGrowsGrowthCompanyPracticeForeverHumilityInvolvedEternalClaimsStrongerBlessedCharityPartnersImprovementGravesRepentanceContinuingBeing BlessedLong SufferingEternal Marriage Author:F.
