Rev. Fr Patrick Nnamani, Chaplain, St. Luke’s Chaplaincy, University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, has advised newlywed couples to always have communion with God.Rev. Nnamani advised in his homily during the solemnization of matrimony of four couples recently.He further urged them to always pray together, eat together, cherish each other and never give in to any temptation that might come through family members or friends.“Where there is charity and love, there the God of love abides,” Rev. Nnamani said.He said that the solemnisation would enable them to be in communion with the church.Referring to the gospel reading from the book of John 2:1-11 about the wedding at Canan, Rev. Nnamani said that a marriage could be restless until it returns to the source which is God, spiritually.According to him, marriage conducted before God and Jesus will never lack wine.He further reminded the couples that there was a need to constantly invite Jesus to their issues, adding that “the love among you begins now”.On his part, Ezekiel Alagboso, the President Catholic Men Organisation (CMO) said that the organisation decided to organise the wedding for the couples in furtherance of its ecclesiastical duty and injunction by God to assist one another.Alagboso said that the mass wedding aimed to assist the couples to be in communion with the church.“So these our brothers that are not in communion with the church are missing and we felt we could assist in that respect to bring them closer to God.“Thank God that it is a success and we pray that God will continue to strengthen the couples in love, understanding, bless them with good health and success in the fruit of their labour,” he added.ALSO READ: Knights of St. Paul Nigeria Holds 11th Investiture of Members
