Homily given at the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Saturday, February 7, 2015, the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time and World Marriage Day, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. Many people, like Job in the first reading, face serious challenges. When we hit those difficult times, we must choose to turn to God, learn the Church's teaching, and seek God for the power to live it out. Christian marriage requires more of the power of the Holy Spirit.
