“Without an experience of Christ as human fulfillment, the Christian ideal of marriage is reduced to something impossible to realize.” Dr. Joseph Atkinson, Associate Professor of Sacred Scripture at the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, will reflect on the theme of marriage as addressed by Fr. Julián Carrón, in his recent book entitled Disarming Beauty: Essays on Faith, Truth, and Freedom. Barry and Laura Stohlman, married for 30 years with 8 children, will offer a witness to show how these provoking words by Fr. Carrón can be verified in real life.
