Subtitled, "True Love at First Sight," from the Tridentine documentary's script which is now complete. Who gets wed the day after his or her wedding, and then the day after that, and again the day after that, and so on, even unto death never to be parted? “My vocation is love, in the heart of the Church, my mother; I will be love and then I will be all things.” ~ Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
PRIOR TO HOLY MASS: THE SOUL’S ENCOUNTER WITH OUR LADY
There is a modern-day “bridal reveal”, to the Immaculate Mother of God before entering the church for the offering to Almighty God of the majestic and eternally valuable Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and each soul’s wedding to and union with Christ through His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. During the conversation with her, it is assured that your proper attire is pleasing to our Triune God.
"I place myself in the presence of Jesus, the Head of the Mystical Body, the Church, begging Him to show me how to collaborate with Him in the work of saving souls." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 67
Our Lady further outfits you in the "Ecce Homo"of her Son, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
“Obedience is a virtue of so excellent a nature, that Our Lord was pleased to mark its observance upon the whole course of His life; thus He often says, He did not come to do His Own will, but that of His Heavenly Father.” ~ Saint Francis de Sales
God does not change.
Humans change; our customs, opinions, emotions, outlook, loyalties, events, interests and influences, fashion, and circumstances change.
The preparations for, destinations of, and celebrations of the wedding of one human to another sure do change and as a result, the health and holiness of marriages changes as does that of the two individuals involved in them.
Obedience to God throughout the course of our lives must always come first.
Obedience to God leads to the holiest, and thus the healthiest and best, outcomes.
"Naturally we all have an inclination to command, and a great aversion to obey; and yet it is certain that it is more for our good to obey than to command; hence perfect souls have always had a great affection for obedience, and have found all their joy and comfort in it." ~ Saint Francis de Sales
THE OFFERING OF THE MAJESTIC TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS CELEBRATED IN LATIN, IN HIS AND IN YOUR EYES
"We know that Jesus alone has merited the vast, precious treasury of grace necessary to redeem and sanctify the whole human race. Yet He has not disdained our humble cooperation; rather, He has positively will "to have need of us." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 68
Spit, dirt, and malice are suddenly manifested, in the supernatural there in the natural, in the eyes of Jesus and as well as in yours, separately and as One in Him during this beautiful wedding day to Christ the Divine Bridegroom of every soul.
"The Spouse of Christ is the Church; the Church is the "company" of His faithful, that is, we ourselves. Certainly, Jesus had absolutely no need of us. As He alone merited grace for us, so He alone can apply it directly to each soul." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 68
What Bridegroom has His beloved meet Him on Mount Calvary for their wedding, to be crucified as One there as Almighty God wills, in the holy hiddenness, in the holy reverence, in the holy silence, and in His holy Majesty for the greater honor and glory of our Triune God, and then for the sake of the whole world?
The Divine Bridegroom's gift during each sacrificial offering of Himself is Himself, His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, and this gift of unfathomable and immeasurable worth keeps multiplying by the Divine power of God.
Sacrificial love is so strong that the bonds formed by it and the sacred vows professed by it cannot ever be broken, and the very gates of hell cannot prevail against it.
“Jesus then, in His infinite goodness, has willed to associate us with
Him, to give us the honor and joy of being His collaborators in the greatest
work to be accomplished in the world: the salvation of souls." ~
Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p.
68
What Father decides the wedding venue for each couple? This exterior wedding location inside of God's House, chosen by Almighty God for each one, becomes the interior wedding location, within the heart, so that at Christ's High Altar permanently established there is also where heaven meets earth together with humanity's past, present, and future.
There, your will is one with Christ's which seeks at all times and through all circumstances come what may to accomplish together the will of Almighty God, your obedience stamped with a seal bearing the likeness of the most beautiful man, with the Holy Face of Jesus Christ our Divine Redeemer, Divine Restorer, Divine Remedy for All, and the Divine Bridegroom of Every Soul.
THE CONSECRATION: TRUE LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
During the consecrations of both Sacred Species, of the bread into the Sacred Body of Jesus and the wine into His Precious Blood, many tears containing the blood and sweat of Jesus, and also dirt and spit and malice coming from sin, pour forth from those who are wedding and have come to be unified as One with Christ and His apostolic mission while our Triune God alone is worshiped and adored.
DURING HOLY COMMUNION, DIVINE UNION, AND WHILE MAKING A PROPER THANKSGIVING TO OUR LAVISHLY LOVING GOD, AND FROM TWO WEDDING VENUES HAVING BECOME ONE (ONE IN THE CHURCH AND THE SAME CHURCH THAT EXISTS WITHIN ONE'S HEART)
"Jesus makes heaven wherever He is." ~ Father Frederick William Faber
To gaze upon Jesus is to experience authentic true love at first sight.
Jesus comes to us in the Blessed Sacrament. He also comes to us supernaturally in the natural. He comes to us through one another, as well.
Since Jesus not only comes to others through us but also comes to us through others, and since He makes up what is lacking within us and also within other people during our interactions with one another, to gaze upon anyone else and even one's self in the mirror is to see Him there, and that is where we can also experience authentic true love, for Him first and foremost, at first sight.
What wonders!
"Since Jesus, in His infinite love for us, has willed to associate us with Him in His redemptive work, reserving in it a place for our activity, we must say that now, in the actual economy of the Redemption, our collaboration is necessary. Henceforth, to bring His work to a successful end, Jesus has need of us. We should have a holy pride in this, but we must not forget that it entails a tremendous responsibility: the salvation of our brethren depends also on the generosity with which we collaborate in Christ's work." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 68
