Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Real love is always fruitful. It's never barren.
Marriage is a love story.
The love of husbands and wives bears fruit most obviously in the lives of their children, but also in many forms of Christian service . . . So too with the priesthood. The priesthood is a love story . Priests are called to be fruitful, but in a different and profoundly important way. They nourish the Church with their lives.
