En Unión Perfecta

(Spanish Version)

In restoring to marriage its original meaning and beauty, Jesus proclaims what the Creator meant marriage to be “in the beginning.” He does so because marriage will be made into the visible embodiment of his love for the Church. In his espousal of the Church as his Bride, he fulfills and elevates marriage. He reveals his own love to the end (Jn 13:1) as the purest and deepest love, the perfection of all love. In doing this he reveals the deepest meaning of all marital love: self-giving love modeled on God’s inner life and love.*
