The Wedding Bread

From the Tridentine documentary's Chapter 8, called "Sacrificial Prayer," for every soul. What wonders!

Note: Please keep in mind when reading this post that it is being edited with time constraints in mind, and that it is part of the script for the Tridentine documentary that will celebrate the greatest love story ever told.

The plan is to also post five other chapters this Sunday afternoon/evening that are currently in rough draft form. 

If that happens then the documentary script's first ten chapters will be written. 

Chapter 11, "Sacrificial Obedience," may arrive in the morning. 

At this point there are 19 Chapters in all, and once they are all here, the entire script will be final edited and then production on the video version will begin.

The documentary's release date for every soul is Christmas, 2024.

SACRIFICIAL PRAYER AND THE WEDDING BREAD

 "Prayer is the light of the soul." ~ Saint John Chrysostom

Devotion to prayer is necessary for the proper development of one's precious, priceless, and immortal soul and for the proper preparation and celebration of each one's Sacramental wedding to and , Sacramental banquet and Sacramental Union with the Real Presence of Jesus the Divine Bridegroom of every soul during the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that is offered first and foremost for the greater honor and glory of our Triune God each day. 

Without prayerful intervals, "it is a real illusion to pretend to live a spiritual life - not only a serious one, but even the most elementary one."  ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 35.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass provides the quiet and silent prayer needed to begin, sets the proper precedence for each new day, obtains for us a Divine beacon for the day's and night's activities, provides proper order to one’s life, and nurtures, sustains, and strengthens us.    

WEDDING CAKE VERSUS THE WEDDING BREAD OF LIFE

"Pray without ceasing." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:17

The priest's white vestments immediately set the tone for this lesson during the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin. 

They are the color of white wedding cake. 

What wonders!

“Faith lifts the soul. Hope supports it. Experience says it must. And Love says let it be!” ~ Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

THE SUPREME ACTIVITY OF PRAYER 

"It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life." ~ Saint John Chrysostom

It is absolutely vital to communicate, properly, with one's Beloved who is God and is to be loved most of all.

"To love God as He ought to be loved, we must be detached from all temporal love. We must love nothing but Him, or if we love anything else, we must love it only for His sake." ~ Saint Peter Claver

THERE IS EVER MORE TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC MYSTICAL WEDDING THEOLOGY FOR EVERY SOUL INSIDE OF GOD'S HOUSE, ON MOUNT CALVARY AS THE TRIDENTINE DOCUMENTARY SCRIPT'S CHAPTERS, LIKE JESUS' REAL PRESENCE IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT, JUST KEEP COMING AND COMING AND COMING AND COMING

"If we wish to find God in prayer, we must begin by making this very firm decision of our will: to put aside everything - all care, all preoccupation with human things - and concentrate all the powers of our souls on God alone." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 36.

ON MAKING THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM OF EVERY SOUL PROUD OF HIS BELOVED, ABOVE THE PLEASING OF ALL OTHERS

We are to strive, with purity of intention and devoid of self interest, to make the Divine Royal Spouse of Our Soul, Jesus Christ, the Love of our natural life and the Love of our eternal life, proud and not just at each day's wedding of one's self to Him but also throughout life, through the spending of the self by way of each one’s God-given holy apostolate.  

“We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.” ~ Saint Clare of Assisi 

The basis for how others are properly loved and cared for is based upon one's relationship with Christ, who by spending Himself on us over and over anew how we are to love God in return while keeping His Commands. 

THE FINAL ELEVATION JUST PRIOR TO HOLY COMMUNION

"Every activity, no matter how important or urgent it is, must therefore be suspended at the prescribed time, so that all the strength of the soul may be concentrated in the supreme activity of prayer. These hours are sacred." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 35.

Just before receiving our Lord's Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, as the small, round, humble and silent Sacred Host is elevated by the celebrant before Jesus makes Himself available in His entirety to each willing one, it is manifested in the supernatural that we are to love Jesus and also love Jesus within His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, properly, as He just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming and sacrificing and sacrificing and sacrificing and sacrificing and loving and loving and loving and loving and giving and giving and giving and giving Himself to us.

“Jesus is happy to come with us, as Truth is happy to be spoken, as Life to be lived, as Light to be lit, as Love is to be loved, as Joy to be given, as Peace to be spread.” ~ Saint Francis of Assisi

HOLY COMMUNION AT THE COMMUNION RAIL

"He who wishes for anything but Christ, does not know what he wishes; he who asks for anything but Christ, does not know what he is asking; he who works, and not for Christ, does not know what he is doing." ~ Saint Philip Neri 

How much more we are to prepare for receiving the Real Presence of Jesus during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Bread of Life and Divine Source of our Redemption, sanctification, and eternal salvation than what couples spend choosing a wedding cake that will appeal to the eyes and taste buds while failing to provide anything of lasting value to the body, the mind, and most importantly the soul.  

We must properly prepare for the soul's most important wedding of all, for each one's wedding to and union with Christ above any and all others, and approach the Divine Bridegroom of Every Soul with proper disposition, with a spirit of adoration, a heart, mind, and soul full of gladness and gratitude, humbly and gently and reverently receiving Him with purity of intention and while giving of one's self to Him in return, as God alone is worshiped and adored.

As in all things, may Almighty God's most perfect will be done, His way, which is always the right way, in imitation of and in union with Christ through the pure maternal intercession of His Immaculate Mother.

"He who is unable to spend a long time together in prayer, should often lift up his mind to God by short prayers." ~ Saint Philip Neri 

DURING THE MARIAN PRAYERS FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS

"We must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins, but he that perseveres to the end, shall be saved." ~ Saint Philip Neri 

Our Blessed Mother helps us and she is the God-given help that we need.

What Immaculate Mother of the Divine Bridegroom of every soul would not do all she can to help with not only the proper celebration of each wedding, but also with the rest of our lives?

All we have to do is be willing.

"My children, if you desire perseverance, be devout to our Blessed Lady." ~ Saint Philip Neri
