Homily for January 31, 2021

Is it really the case Saint Paul is saying that marriage is a “second-class vocation”? Can that be the case? Or, is there something else behind what he is saying. Do we need the context to know that the real message of the second reading is to make sure all we do is directed toward pleasing God. Marriage and family life is so powerful that the Second Vatican Council called marriage and family the “domestic church.”
