One of Chirbes’s friends was an atheist, married to a deeply religious Catholic woman. Their whole lives together, the husband pretended to be as religious as his wife. He didn’t want to hurt her, wanted to make her happy, so every day he would get on his knees and they would pray together. 50 years of daily shared prayers, of weekly mass, all out of love for his wife. The husband sacrificed his need to be right to the comfort of another person.
What can possibly be more deeply Christian than what this husband did?

It’s called the religion of love for a reason, except that people don’t know what love is.

Repenting of his pride, narcissism, and dishonesty, and receiving Christ’s forgiveness, and allowing the Spirit of love to grant him grace and humilty, so that he could share his wife’s deepest love.
That poor woman.
