Book Extracts 'For Better, For Worse'
|
Extracts from Fr Peter de Sousa’s book, “For Better, For Worse”.
In May 1971, Fr Peter de Sousa, C.Ss.R. participated in a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend in New York. In his words, “I discovered my priesthood in terms of a spousal relationship with the people to whose service I was ordained. Married couples became my teachers about love and relationship.” With his permission, WWME Singapore brings you snippets from a book “For Better, For Worse ... A Covenant of Love” written by Fr de Sousa. Read his anecdotes and stories he picked up from the many couples he served over the years. [The full-length articles were first published in www.holyspiritinteractive.net.]
