Roman Catholic marriage is an undiscovered treasure, full of mysterious wellsprings which satisfy the deepest longings of a man and woman united by God in this profound and lifegiving sacrament. Fruits from Cana —which bears the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur—is a practical handbook designed for Roman Catholic couples seeking to discover and more deeply experience these marital wellsprings for themselves. Written over the course of two and a half decades by a Roman Catholic layman who has been married for forty-one years, Fruits from Cana explores the mystically rich opportunities of two people deeply in love with a clear, realistic, and humble approach to God’s Throne of Love and Mercy. In short, readable chapters, the author addresses down-to-earth issues such as Finances, Communication, In-Laws, and The Marriage Bed, as well as spiritual dimensions in topics such as The Soul, Prayer, and The Holy Eucharist. Amidst a confusing world in which Roman Catholic marriage often seems hard-pressed, troubled, drought-stricken, and under attack on so many fronts, Fruits from Cana is a simple witness to the very real truth taught and practiced by the Church—that The Spiritual Unity of Marital Oneness is a miracle fully accessible when spouses, in obedience to love, grow into that realization that God has intended from the beginning of humanity’s creation in His Garden of Eden, and to which He now leads all those who yearn in that same desire for Oneness. Richard Martelles is a Roman Catholic layman who has led parish Bible study groups for forty years. He lives with his wife, Gayle, on the upper slopes of Haleakala Crater, Maui. The couple have been married for forty-one years, have three grown children and two grandchildren, and love to hike in the rain forests.
