Brethren: Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord. Because the husband is the head of the wife: as Christ is the head of the Church: he is the Saviour of his body. Therefore as the Church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. Husbands love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church, and delivered himself up for it: that he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life; that he might present it to himself a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle, nor any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the Church: for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall stick to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh." This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the Church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband. GRAD. Ps. cxxvii. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house. V.

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion, and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. V. And mayest thou see thy children's children: peace upon Israel. GOSPEL. Matt. xix. 3, 6. At that time: The Pharisees came to Jesus, tempting him, and saying: E Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Who answering said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: "for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. OFFERT. Ps. xxx.
