The Church is not called the Bride of the Lord for nothing: the Bridegroom rejoices in his Bride; he desires, however, that the Bride also rejoice in him.

LIVE IN LOVE

This compact book, one of Adrienne von Speyr’s last works, dives into the mystery of Christian obedience, thus bringing the reader into the heart of authentic Christian love. Profoundly misunderstood in our time, obedience is not just a vow for monks and nuns. Nor does it mean domination, an automatic response of a slave or puppet. Rather, it is the free, creative, and open-hearted response of a perceptive child of God.
