Too many people are entering marriage too lightly and taking vows before God. How often do we see men, for example, dumping their first wife for a younger version and then seeking an annulment after many years of marriage. Those who present themselves for communion with their marriage not annuled need to remember that he who eats of the body and blood of the Lord unworthily eat and drink damnation unto themselves.
