        Man was created to be free, living in open spaces.
        See him now, boxed in by over-population.
        The spirit living within us is dead to our bodies.

        The union of two
        is a blessing from God.

        Sexuality is not simply biological, but concerns the innermost
        part of the human person:

                  God sent the angel Raphael to Tobit disguised as a relative.
                  Tobit had been blinded by the droppings of a bird, while
                  he slept out doors that night. .. The sparrow had rested in a
                  branch overhead.
                  Raphael guided the blind Tobit to a kinswoman Sarah.
                  Sarah had married seven times, "and a Devil named
                  Asmodeus had killed them, at their first entering her."
                  (Tobias 3:8)
                  Raphael confronted the demon, "And Tobias remembering
                  the angel's word, took out of his bag part of the fish liver,
                  and laid it upon burning coals. Then the angel Raphael
                  took the devil, and bound him in the desert of upper Egypt."
                  (Tobias 8:2-3)
                  Sarah's family dug a grave for Tobit, while the two slept.
                  Tobit got out of bed and said to Sarah, "Sister, get up,
                  and let us pray and implor our Lord that he grant us mercy
                  and safety." Tobit began by saying,  "You made Adam and
                  for him his wife Eve. For our God have said, 'It is not good that
                  man should be alone.' I now am taking this kinswoman, not
                  because of lust, but with marriage. Grant that we may both
                  grow old together." (Tobias 8:4-9)
                  Rapheal healed Tobit of his blindness. Sarah and Tobit's
                  marriage was blessed.
