Description
"The life the Church is a life of communion. And it is in communion and trough communion that the people of God fulfils its mission. This statement, which is in keeping with the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, has been the inspiration for this study. But what is the link between communion and commitment and the symbolism of the Church as bride and mother? Here is a direct approach to this question. It seeks to rediscover the theological riches contained in the nuptial and maternal symbols of the Church. This approach to an understanding of the mystery of the Church is certain to invigorate the spirit of renewal generated by the Second Vatican Council."
