Marriage in the Karlskirche

Marriage in the Karlskirche

Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the image of God [cf. Gen 1:26-27] and concludes with the vision of the ‘marriage of the Lamb’ (Rev 19:7.9). From its first to its last pages, Scripture speaks of marriage and its ‘mystery’, of its institution and the meaning God has given it, of its origin and its goal, of its different realisations throughout the course of salvation history, of its difficulties arising from sin, and of its renewal ‘in the Lord’ (1 Cor 7:39) in the New Covenant of Christ and the Church [cf. Eph 5:31-32].
