The June 28 bulletin of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Tolleson features the story of a man who was engaged to be married and wanted God to be a major part of his union.

“If you don’t love Jesus more than you love me, this is never going to work,” he told his fiancé.

The story described the man as “an amazing and truly inspiring witness.”

Love between human beings is the subject of countless songs and books.

“We can describe another as meaning everything to us,” the item read. “We speak of wanting to offer our complete selves to our beloved. However, true love is about more than wanting to be with that person. It is about wanting that person to know a love even greater than theirs: the love of God. No love can last without God.”

The man who was about to be married, “showed his true love for his wife-to-be by sharing more than himself,” the story said. “He shared the very One who created love.”
