Concerning the Sacraments of the Church and how they act as a channel of Grace in our lives, this talk on Marriage and conjugal relations is the thirty eighth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study and first broadcast under the title 'Life is Worth Living'. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.
God implanted the sex instinct in every human being and associated great pleasure with it in order to ensure the continuation of the human race. Purity is reverence paid to the mystery of sex. God poured love into man and woman to make them co-creators with Him as a free gift. This creativeness is lawful only in marriage. Sex is not to be isolated from love and its purpose and creativeness.
