An English translation of St. John Paul II’s “rule” for married couples is now available to the general public — for the very first time.
“St. John Paul II’s Rule gives spouses the key to unlock how to authentically live out their faith, grow in conjugal spirituality (their united relationship with God), and find lasting joy!” Theresa and Peter Martin told Our Sunday Visitor of its significance.
The married couple feature an English translation of St. John Paul II’s “Rule for Married Couple Groups” — together with translations of two other rediscovered texts by the saint — in their new book: “The Rule: St. John Paul II’s Rule for a Joy-Filled Marriage of Divine Love.”
All three texts, the Martins said, are part of a collection of works by St. John Paul II that were found during the cause for his canonization. He wrote the two other texts — “Reflections on Marriage” and “Love is the Moral Foundation of Marriage” — within the same decade as the rule, around 50 years ago.
The Martins’ book, published in February, uses these two other texts “to more fully understand what he meant within the Rule,” they said.
