Subtitled "The Wedding Bread," from the Tridentine documentary's script for every soul. "Prayer is the light of the soul." ~ Saint John
Chrysostom
THE WEDDING BREAD
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 the Sacramental banquet and Sacramental Union with - the Real Presence of Jesus the Divine Bridegroom of every soul during the majestic Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin which 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 activities and events of our lives; provides proper order to guide us; 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.
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 for us to communicate with God.
"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 ANY DESIRE TO PLEASE ANY 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 during the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and then throughout Life, through the spending of the self as Almighty God wills for each one, in imitation of and in union with Christ.
“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 by us is based upon one's relationship with Christ, who by spending Himself on us over and over anew shows us how we are to love God in return.
We must listen to God, and do as He says.
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, and humble Sacred Host is elevated by the celebrant before Jesus makes Himself available in His entirety to each willing and properly disposed one, it is manifested in the supernatural that we are to love and value Jesus and His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, for they are both Him, 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 Wedding Bread of Life and Divine Source of our redemption, sanctification, and eternal salvation than couples spend choosing a wedding cake that will appeal to the eyes and taste buds for such a short time 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 first and foremost, and approach the Divine Bridegroom of Every Soul with proper disposition; with a spirit of adoration, with a heart, mind, and soul full of gladness and gratitude; humbly, 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.
"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
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.
"Never give up prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason: God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction." ~ Saint John of the Cross +
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
