[powerpress]We apologize for some of the noise in the recording.  The microphone was inadvertently attached to a file on the podium and was jostled during the talk…it’s not that bad and the talk is fantastic!

Francis Cardinal Arinze discussed the value of the marriage relationship and it’s contribution to the personal growth of the couple, it’s activity in the community and in the life of the Church.  Cardinal  Arinze goes on to talk about motherhood and fatherhood even when a couple do not have natural children of their own.  The joy of giving, as opposed to grabbing…the gift of joy.  He speaks of the example of priesthood and of St. Teresa of Calcutta (” The Smile of God”).  “Sacrificing yourself for others the sun begins to shine”.
