This year’s theme, “live the truth and beauty of God’s plan for Married Love,” honors the legacy of Humanae vitae.  We are invited to reflect on our openness to God’s plan for married love and responsible parenthood, celebrating how “it’s about love, it’s about life, it’s about freedom, it’s about gift.”   This is a wonderful opportunity for engaged couples to set time aside to learn about the Church’s perennial truth about sacramental marriage.  It’s also an opportunity for married couples to be renewed in their commitment as they experience new phases and chapters throughout their vocation.
