The Movement of Pure Hearts for Married Couples (2016-37)

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. 'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery. 'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,' but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one. 'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'* But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you. 'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

	The Movement of Pure Hearts for Married Couples (2016-37)

By LOA Editorial Office,
Love One Another! 2016-37

Dear spouses! Remember the priceless treasure you received in the sacrament of matrimony, which is Jesus Christ Himself! He, as true God, becoming true man, took upon Himself all of our sins, suffering and problems. By His death on the cross and in His resurrection, He forgave all our sins, and ultimately defeated all evil and death. The crucified and risen Lord is with us always and through the sacraments gives us a share in His victory. As spouses, you have the enduring presence of Jesus in your sacrament of matrimony. Unite yourselves with Him and present all your problems, aggravations and joys to Him in daily prayer. Only with Him will you overcome all your difficulties! If spouses pray the rosary together and go to confession and communion regularly, then they build their future on the unshakeable rock which is God Himself. The only effective medication for healing marital and family relations is the love of Jesus. Take all your problems to Jesus. If you patiently submit to His treatment, He will resolve all your problems, heal all the wounds of the heart, and break all the bonds of slavery. What does this treatment involve, and how do you take the medicine? Every day: the Holy Mass and an hour of adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy, along with meditation on texts of the Holy Scriptures. Everyone who submits to this treatment from Jesus will surely be healed.

If you desire to renew, deepen and heal your marital relationship, the Lord Jesus invites you to join the Movement of Pure Hearts for Married Couples. In order to join the MPHM, first you should recognise all your sins in the sacrament of penance, participate in the Holy Mass and, after receiving Jesus in Holy Communion, pray The MPHM Prayer of Entrustment.

Pray the Prayer of Entrustment every day and introduce all its obligations into your marital life. Arrange your daily duties in such a way that prayer will have the first place, followed by work and rest. Be vigilant that television and the Internet not become gods or time thieves in your home at the cost of prayer and rest. Take care over the purity of your heart, since you can only love with a pure heart. That is why you must always keep yourself in a state of sanctifying grace; and if you suffer a serious fall, go immediately to the sacrament of penance.

The Lord Jesus desires for you to share your experiences of life and faith with others on the pages of Love One Another! So we ask you to write your testimonies down and send them to the editorial board.

You can inform our editorial board about the great event of your joining the MPHM by sending us your address, dates of birth and date of entry into the MPHM. We will enter you into our Book of Pure Hearts and send you a special blessing.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you!” (2 Cor. 13:13).

With Christ’s blessing.
