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
'Being on the road' means letting oneself be carried along by the events and by things without necessarily being able to make sense of them. ‘Taking to the road', in contrast, means opening oneself up to new demands because it implies the decision to start a trip, to think about the route to be taken, to experience the preparation time that brings alive the sensation of expectation and waiting, and above all, it allows one to realise that ‘being on the road' is our new state of being. This state of being creates different behaviour in us. It gives us new words to tackle everyday life in its little and large aspects and to look at the way history is unfolding around us and how we are actors within that history."
