Love for the Church

This was drawn to my attention by my friend, Phil Lawson. It is from Fr. Henri Cardinal De Lubac and in it he describes what a person in love with Christ's Bride looks like:

“Such a person will have fallen in love with the beauty of the House of God; the Church will have stolen his heart. She is his spiritual native country, his ‘mother and his brethren,’ and nothing which concerns her will leave him indifferent or detached; he will root himself in her soil, form himself in her likeness and make himself one with her experience….It will be from her that he learns how to live and from her that he learns how to die.”
