Picture of Church Summer

Summer had arrived and with it, the accumulating heat. There was no air conditioning in the church, yet it was always full on Sunday mornings. The faithful gathered to listen to the priest speak of God and his word.


Today, however, there was something different: a young woman sitting in the second-to-last row. She said nothing but looked around her as if looking for something or someone. No one knew who she was or what she was doing here but everyone was intrigued by her unexpected presence.


The priest continued his sermon but the young woman didn't seem really interested in what he was saying. Instead, she slowly got up and waved at a man behind her. When he approached her, we could see that this man was in fact her husband and that both of them had come to church together to get married! After a short blessing from the priest, the couple left hand in hand to the applause of the faithful who were happy for them.
