By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F

The Kiss of God
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
It was a cozy, chatty, pre-dinner cocktail conversation – just the newlyweds, with myself as the invited dinner guest in their living room. He was an open, warm, and ebullient person; she was gracious, but somewhat shy and reserved.
