Today’s Reflection
Two In One Flesh
Two In One Flesh is an initiative that was started by five couples and a priest who for many years were involved in leadership roles in the Worldwide Marriage Encounter movement in England and Wales.
Together they developed resources with the aim of enriching marriages and helping the laity and the clergy in the Church grasp a greater understanding of the Sacrament of Marriage so that married couples may play a fuller role in the mission of the church.
The resources primarily, but not exclusively, help married and engaged couples discover what the Lord is saying to them about their relationship and their day to day living through the Scriptures. Read more on the Two In One Flesh story.

Using relatively few words a well-rounded, honest and frequently insightful reflection of the person is given. If I…
