 Our Description

Dr. Scott Hahn

Today marriage and the family are under attack. These divinely established institutions are being brutally assaulted from every side. What can be done to reaffirm the dignity of Holy Matrimony as a Sacrament and to reinforce the family as the fundamental unit of society? What does Sacred Scripture disclose about marriage and family life, especially in light of God's covenantal love?

Immunize Yourself Against the Ways of the World

In the new three-CD series, The Mystery of Matrimony: Blueprint for a Catholic Marriage, Dr. Scott Hahn explores the mystery of marriage and family in light of Christ's New Covenant. These inspiring and insightful talks provide a powerful Catholic antidote to the infectious ways of the world. As you listen to Dr. Hahn's presentations, you'll discover precisely what is needed to enter into the realm of the sacred as you strive to live your baptismal commitment and become the saint God intends you to be.

Investigating the concept of holiness, Hahn goes beyond the mere moral or ethical dimensions to examine the universal calling to sanctity in light of the liturgy and sacrifice, especially as contained in the Mass and as lived in marriage. Now from the pages of Genesis and Revelation you'll discover that "the world was a wedding from the very beginning," and that true worship of God anticipates the reality of eternal, heavenly praise.

Taking a fresh look at the Seven Sacraments Scott challenges you to "relearn the language of love as our bodies were meant to speak it." Now you can uncover transforming truths that are too often unappreciated and rarely fully comprehended. This is your chance to go beyond being merely catechized and become truly evangelized as you learn to put the Gospel truth into practice!

In his final talk, Dr. Hahn gets personal and practical in his teaching on how to become truly holy. Offering concrete suggestions and useful advice to overcome obstacles that might steer us away from Heaven, Scott shares from his own family and fatherly experience. You'll discover how Catholic spiritual practices are tangible ways to tap into the incredible reservoirs of grace readily available to live a life of holiness.

The Mystery of Matrimony: Blueprint for a Catholic Marriage will illuminate your mind and stimulate your soul to better understand the mystery of marriage and family life than ever before. This three-CD set is perfect to spark a renewal in any marriage no matter how many years the couple has been together. It also makes a great gift for the engaged, recent newlyweds or anyone desiring to get on the right path!
