By avoiding sin within marriage, including the practice of contraception, a husband and wife show their obedience to God and express their love for one another

Where a married couple really love one another, and love God, they want to do His Will. He wants them to be faithful to one another, and to refuse to use sinful means of seeking pleasure or avoiding conception. They can be sure, by their faithfulness to God's Will (even if this means abstinence, pain or heartache) that they offer an unmarred expression of love to their Creator and also to one another.

Husbands and wives who use contraception and so deliberately 'shut the door' to the gift of children, are also 'shutting the door' to God's light and graces, by their disobedience to His laws and to His plans for their marriage.

Good people work to raise awareness of the immorality of neglecting the poor. Far fewer are raising awareness - for the good of souls - of another sort of immorality, which is unchastity in all its forms, and abortion and contraception.

By it's very nature, love is fruitful and generous; and so the Lord invites all married people to understand that the moral teachings of the Church are true. Whoever uses contraception, even in difficult circumstances, is acting against God's wishes, and no longer shines with the radiance that comes from the Holy Spirit.

Christ is pleased whenever someone writes clearly about right and wrong in marriage. Few are willing to support and promote the Church's teaching about openness to life and the immorality of contraception.

If we speak about the teachings of the Church, about faith and morality, we may meet with anger or indifference. It is not comfortable speaking out with a prophetic voice.

It is possible for someone to oppose God's wishes, through ignorance and muddled thinking, and not to be blameworthy. But it is a sad thing when an adult Catholic looks at two thousand years of constant teaching on a serious moral matter, and says to God - by her choices - "I believe I am right, and you and your Popes, Bishops, Saints and theologians are wrong, and I am going to use contraceptives".

How many Bishops preach against abortion, the Lord asked, and against contraception, unchastity, desertion of spouses and neglect of children? Who do we hear much more about other less important topics?

A Christian marriage, lived as it should be lived, is like a lamp set on a hill, for society; a sacramental union full of grace. It provides a loving home for children who are not rejected by contraceptive use or abortion; it is a place of care for elderly relations, provides warmth for the lonely, and is an example to all of love and compassion.

God our Father does not want to see families destroyed. He does not want to see violence between spouses, nor desertion; nor contraception, abortion, egg or sperm 'donation', production of human life in laboratories, or embryo research, or other immoral practices.
