Manželství - společná cesta k Bohu – Caffarel Henri (2022)

Spiritual Reflections for Spouses, Fiancés, and Those Accompanying Them French priest Henri Caffarel had a profound insight into God's plan for the love of man and woman. His inspirational talks collected in this volume help us understand the immense potential of the sacrament of marriage. Living in marriage is challenging – but even within it, God guides, accompanies, and strengthens us if we open ourselves to Him. The author is well aware of the realities of married life. He recognizes the pitfalls in a partnership but shows us how not to succumb to the evils of indifference, blame, and spite. Love is faithful and does not fade away, only when it is willing to start anew, capable of forgiving and accepting forgiveness. The author introduces us to marital and family spirituality. He highlights the importance of prayer and the calling of spouses to hospitality and witness in an atheistic society. Sexuality is not overlooked either. The author intersperses his lively talks with quotes from various poets, prose writers, and philosophers. The texts, primarily intended for married couples and families, will also serve well in preparing fiancés and shaping new generations of Christian marriages.
