Chapter 3: "Sacrificial Selflessness"

From the Tridentine documentary's Chapter 3, for every soul. What wonders! “It is the law of this life: sacrifice and joy go side by side." ~ Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

SACRIFICIAL SELFLESSNESS: SEEING THE HOLY FACE OF ONE’S BELOVED PRIOR TO THE WEDDING

The Divine Bridegroom of every soul sees His beloved before being wedded to Him during the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that morning, and together they have breakfast.

WHO ARRIVES AT THE CHURCH FOR HER WEDDING TO CHRIST THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM OF EVERY SOUL, IN LABOR?

Christ's beloved arrives at the church in labor, laboring with his or her holy apostolate of reparation, as the work of Almighty God’s Divine Economy of sanctification and eternal salvation continues through each willing individual in union with Christ and the Work of Reparation to His Holy Face.  

We are to participate in the Eucharistic Sacrifice unified as Almighty God wills with the apostlic mission of Jesus Christ the Divine Founder of His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, our High Priest, our Divine Redeemer, Divine Restorer, Divine Remedy for All, and the Divine Bridegroom of every soul.

ECCE HOMO! BEHOLD THE MAN

“Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to His beloved is that of overcoming self.” ~ Saint  Francis of Assisi

During the Holy Sacrifice, Jesus Christ our High Priest draws attention to the liturgical colors on this day, red and white, and then He manifests Himself celebrating the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in Latin after having been scourged at the pillar and as One with the priest celebrant in the natural.

Christ's vestments in the supernatural reflect this, as does His Sacred Body, and so will His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament manifest this from the time of the Consecration on and through the offering of the Lord's Prayer, the final elevation, and then during Holy Communion.  

"In Holy Mass, Jesus continues to sacrifice Himself for us, and to offer Himself to His Father, in order to obtain Divine blessings for us. It is true that Jesus offers Himself through the ministry of the priest, but the priest makes the offering in the name of all the faithful, and they, in union with Him... This means that the faithful also are invited to offer the Divine Victim with the priest...and we unite our intentions of praise, petition, expiation, and thanksgiving with those of the priest and Christ our High Priest." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 497

As the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass continues, the veil between God and mankind is manifested in the supernatural as saturated with the Blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.   

THE MARIAN PRAYERS FOLLOWING THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS

"On Calvary, Mary did not take a passive part in the Passion of her Son; she united herself with His intentions, and offered Him to the Father. In the same way, when we are present at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we, too, can offer the Father the Divine Victim who is ours, because He offered and immolated Himself for all of us." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 497

Each one of us is to unify our wedding gift of self to Christ's intentions also, in imitation of the Immaculate Mother of God, and offer all to Almighty God our Divine Sovereign Authority through her, as On in Christ her Divine Son, for the greater honor and glory of our Triune God and then for the sake of the whole world.
