Fr. Zane Langenbrunner will discuss the divine link between intimacy and commitment, not only in romantic relationships but in all vocations. Many seek intimacy without the responsibility of commitment, erring from God’s design for genuine, faithful relationships. By embracing commitment, we open ourselves to vulnerability in a prudent, meaningful way, in all relationships. In today’s world, technology has complicated this, often allowing us to interact virtually in ways that lack depth and true connection, detracting from the communal life we were designed for. By consciously choosing commitment, we find healing in relationships where Christ is present, reflecting God as a communion of persons. In honoring this design, we live in the image of God, building communities grounded in love as intended by God.
