We hear a lot about having a relationship with Christ
But what kind of relationship exactly?
There’s a reason why a husband’s love for his bride is meant to mirror Christ’s love for his Church.
Christ desires more than just a “personal relationship”, like the one you have with your friends, siblings, or even your parents.
We are rather, not only called, but MADE for INTIMACY with Christ.
When Husbands are called to love their wives, they are called to give their entire selves up for them, to die for them.
This is also why the sexual act is not to be “contracepted”, but to be made as a total, full, gift of one’s entire self.
How lucky are we that Christ gives his entire self to us, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, in the most Holy Eucharist?
We are called, and made for more than just a personal relationship with Christ.
We are made for intimacy.
