Description

Celebrating eighteen years of marriage! Enjoy this poem by Madeleine Delbrêl, French poet and social worker, about responding with love to the love of Christ the Bridegroom. We love this poem because it depicts the "spirit" of marriage, the gift and task that is marriage, that is the response to being "first loved" by Christ (cf. 1Jn 4:19 ).

You can read other beautiful things from Madeleine Delbrêl in The Dazzling Light of God OR  We, the Ordinary People of the Streets.
