A special celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony was held Aug. 13 at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, in a ceremony presided by Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila. The participants were 13 Hispanic couples who had the opportunity to bless their union before God. The ceremony was a Year of Mercy initiative hosted by Centro San Juan Diego (CSJD).
Some of these couples had lived together for over 30 years. That was Marisela Arreola and Susano Izaguirres’ case. For these Saint Cajetan’s parishioners, attending mass and not being able to receive communion with their kids was difficult, they said.
“I’m super excited, it was a blessing from God. It’s something inexplicable,” Arreola said.
As for Izaguirres, his happiness is immense after finally marrying his partner of 30 years.
“I am very grateful to God and how it all happened,” he said.
After the couple heard about the CSJD initiative, Izaguirres called to register, but unfortunately, he said “registration was closed. “
“When I got home I told my wife, I felt very sad, but then she surprised me by telling me that she had called earlier and she got us registered.”
The initiative was presented a year ago when CSJD’s director, Luis Alvarez, assumed his position. Alvarez observed with great concern that at Spanish Masses, many people refrain from receiving Communion. One of the main reasons is that many of them have not been blessed by holy matrimony.
Alvarez saw an opportunity in this Year of Mercy—celebrated by the Church and proposed by Pope Francis—to talk to priests in the Metropolitan area and ask them to participate in this initiative by motivating parishioners to receive this sacrament.
Words form the newlyweds
“Getting married by the Church was wonderful after living together for so long,” said Mario Vega, parishioner at Saint Catherine of Sienna parish. He married his partner Maria after 17 years of living together. “Receiving the blessing of God is something that fills us with the spirit and joy…that, and feeling free of living in sin.”
Erika and Juan Carrillo had been living together for 15 years and have two kids. “The premarital classes were excellent. I thought I knew a lot about marriage after living together for so long, but then I realized I knew almost nothing. We learned a lot on how to live an even better marriage,” said Erika.
“The felling is inexplicable!” said Ivan Ariel, a Saint Anthony of Padua parishioner and a father of three, who married his wife Virna Lisi after living together for 20 years. “We are a Catholic family and this is a greater step to be closer to God,” he stated.
“We are flattered to have this blessing, not everyone has this opportunity,” said Salvador Bonilla, another participant.
After the ceremony, Juan Carlos Reyes, director of family services at CSJD expressed his joy at the occasion.
“I am very happy and I feel satisfied,” Reyes said. Reyes was responsible for leading this initiative with a team of trainers and facilitators. “It is very beautiful to see the happiness of couples and the testimony they gave their children and grandchildren.
“This has also begun to change the extended family (grandparents, grandchildren, uncles, nephews, etc.) too because of the example given by the newlyweds. This is an initiative that touches hearts, and hopefully more couples feel motivated to participate,” Reyes added.

Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oils are saturated fats of shorter chain length than other consumed saturated fats.
If you care about the details, saturated fats are made of fatty acids. These fatty acids are made up of strips of carbon atoms that come in different lengths, from four carbon chains to 22 carbon chains. Most oils consist of long chain triglycerides (LCT), more than 12 carbons long. Medium chain triglycerides are six to 12 carbons long.
The reason this matters is because the length of the carbon chain can make a difference in how your body processes and metabolizes the fat.
In the past it was thought that all saturated fats were bad fats. Now, there are claims that some saturated fats such as MCTs are helpful to weight loss, keeping us fuller longer and improving cognitive function. Some recommend that we switch our fat consumption to things like coconut oil and butter from grass-fed beef to reap the benefits of MCT oil.
However, the research on switching to MCTs is mixed.
In one study, researchers suggested that medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) may slow fat deposition and preserve insulin sensitivity, helping to prevent metabolic disorders.
In another study, mice were given either palm oil or coconut oil and then tested while swimming in an aquarium. The mice given the coconut oil showed greater endurance than the mice that were given palm oil.
Other researchers found that compared to corn oil, coconut oil does not help with weight management — at least in a small study of children.
Researchers who did a review of 13 studies comparing MCTs to LCTs believe that further independent and well-designed research is required to confirm (or debunk) the benefits of MCTs.
The bottom line is that when it comes to MCTs, most agree that the research to date has shown that eating foods which contain medium chain triglycerides may be a good idea. Remember that coconut oil is not the only source of MCTs. Dairy is also a rich source and has been shown to reduce body weight compared to LCTs.
However, most would also agree that MCTs are not the answer for those pursuing weight loss. Exercise and eating a well-balanced diet that eliminates as many overly processed foods as possible is still the best way to remain healthy.
