Why was Christ so compassionate towards sexual sinners, especially women? Think of the woman caught in adultery. Think of the prostitute who wept at his feet. Could it be because Christ knew that these women, who had been deceived by counterfeit loves, were actually looking for him, the true Bridegroom?

In Christ, man who made himself God encounters God who made himself man. Unrivaled self-importance and pride encounters unrivaled self-emptying and humility.

If we want to know what's most sacred in this world, all we need to do is look for what is most violently profaned.

God's plan remains God's plan despite our sin.

Grace flows through wounds.

Marital love is a reflection of how God loves. It is free, total, faithful and fruitful.

Marriage is the most basic expression of the vocation to love that all men and women have as persons made in God's image.
