Jesus the Bridegroom Book Study
2025-10-13 16:30 - 17:30 | St. Patrick Church of Merna, 1001 N Towanda Barnes Rd, Bloomington, Illinois, 61705, United States
Fr. Ben will help us unpack Brant Pitre’s book, “Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.” Pitre will take us deeper on the meaning of Christ as the Bridegroom and the Church as the Bride. He reveals that the key to unlocking this mystery is found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition. When seen in this light, we understand the life of Christ is nothing less than the greatest love story ever told, and that His Passion was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding, when God would wed himself to humankind.

We will meet in Shamrock Hall.
