Hearing the groom’s voice

At a wedding the groom is the one who gets married. The best man is glad just to be there and to hear the groom's voice. John 3:29

A groom and his best man

The Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins on delighting in God... All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise Him.

As soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the baby in my womb leapt for joy. Luke 1:43

Glad just to... hear the groom's voice

John and Jesus. From an unborn child John knew great joy at just being close to Jesus. Delight in his presence, feel the amazement and delight at the Lord of Creation who delights to be close to us.
