Listen to the father Caffarel
|
It began in 1938. Four young married couples, rich in their new found love and convinced christians, wanted to live their love in the light of their Christian faith. They asked Fr. Caffarel to guide their search. "Let us journey together", he replied. The very first meeting took place in Paris on the 25th of February 1939. It was to be followed by other exciting meetings. Gradually, the special place of marriage in God's plan unfolded before the eyes of these young couples: a living image of the love that unites Christ to his Church. At the same time, they experienced community life, in which Christ's promise to be present is fulfilled (Mt 18 :20). And so, their lives progressed in three directions: union with God, union between husband and wife and between couples, and openness to others.
Thought for Today
Your are a God who speaks, not so much in the extraordinary events, but in the trace that you leave in our lives.Your word brings sense to our lives and to our life story. It orients our lives towards doing good and being happy, towards fulfilling relationships with you and others. O God, who knew how to stop on the seventh day, in order to make sense of the whirlpool of creation, let me discover, in re-reading the story of my life, how You make yourself present, how through what others did for me, through decisions I took, choices I made, you made yourself known without imposing yourself in an obvious fashion, but as a loving presence.
