Bride of Christ

The entire Christian life bears the mark of the spousal love of Christ and the Church. What does this mean? This spousal love is in fact Jesus' longing to give himself to us through his Church. This love of Christ is reflected not only in the Church but also in our bodies as male and female. We are made for relationship, made to be given as a gift to another in love. As a groom waits for his bride, so Christ waits for us. Will we take another step toward him today?  References: Catechism of the Catholic Church 1616 Book of the Song of Songs Search for More Episodes: https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/searchingformore #SearchingForMore #SFM
