Christ the Bridegroom (Lent 2024)

The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

Series on The Ascension Lenten Companion by Fr. Mark Toups (Part 2)

How does a bridegroom love his bride?

That is how Jesus loves each one of us. He meets us wherever we are in our life to be our beloved and for us to be His. The Lord meets us in the desert-our place of poverty where He betroths us to Him and He betroths Himself to us.

In this way, Jesus as the bridegroom reveals to us a quality of love, the way that God loves.

In this episode, our aim is for us to better understand what it means to have Jesus as the bridegroom and the desert as the place of betrothal.
