This lesson for every soul, manifested from the greatest love story of all time, begins in the supernatural with Jesus' scourging at the pillar prior to the offering in the natural of the majestic Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin. Within this day’s Royal Wedding to Christ the Divine Bridegroom of every soul, two incredible books are revealed prior to its dramatic conclusion as this never-ending love story begins anew, this time with a two-in-One wedding gift for His and our Eternal Father. What wonders!
"Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others." ~ Saint Augustine
WHAT FATHER OF THE GROOM RECEIVES THE WEDDING GIFTS, FROM THE GROOM AND THE BRIDE AT THEIR WEDDING?
What wedding is an offering of one's self to the Eternal Father, in imitation of and in union with Christ the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity?
Who then provides what is needed for His family, by way of this wedding along the Way of the Cross, through the Spouse of the Holy Ghost and Immaculate Mother of the Divine Bridegroom, so that His will may be accomplished on Mount Calvary in imitation of and in union with His Only Begotten Son?
The Divine Eternal Father of the Divine Bridegroom receives the wedding gifts He desires during the offering to Him of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin as our Triune God alone is worshiped and adored.
Almighty God the Divine Creator of life and the Original Giver is the Recipient of the most personally costly gift possible, one's self in imitation of and in union with Christ, a most prized possession offered by the free will and the gift He wants.
He then provides each person with what is needed: the Real Presence of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity and the vital sanctifying graces provided to us from Him.
"O Lord, You call me unceasingly, drawing me to Yourself; grant that I may respond to Your call with ever-increasing generosity." ~ Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., "Divine Intimacy," p. 221
THE ALMIGHTY FATHER OF THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM PROVIDES THE BEST WEDDING GIFT POSSIBLE AT EACH SOUL'S WEDDING TO HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON DURING THE MAJESTIC OFFERING OF THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS CELEBRATED IN LATIN
During this offering within an offering that is of Almighty God's choosing, our Divine Creator and Sovereign Authority bestows upon His beloved the most priceless wedding present possible after having received the most costly wedding present possible, the gift of one's self.
This miraculous gift bestowed by God our Father upon humanity through the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ, which has eternal value for every soul is the reception of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in His entirety (Sacred Body, Precious Blood, Soul, and Divinity) during each soul’s wedding to and union with Him.
We are to offer ourselves to Almighty God as He wills for each one without counting the personal cost and not just once; like Christ our Savior and Good Shepherd, we must do so over and over and over again.
We must imitate His offering of Himself as He just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming and giving and giving and giving and giving Himself to us in His entirety in this manner (the Blessed Sacrament) for the sake of all mankind.
“Sanctity is defined as assimilation to Christ who is God become Man. Holiness is to be or become more and more like God. Sanctity is to become more and more like Christ, so that by imitating Christ’s virtues as Man we might become more and more like the God who practiced those human virtues.” ~ Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., “The Divine Attributes Retreat: The Attributes of God, The Holiness of God”
JESUS MAKES US SONS OF GOD
“The only Son of God became a Son of man to make many men sons of God.” ~ Saint Augustine
The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and Divine Bridegroom of every soul came for our sake through His Immaculate Mother and taught us, offered His life for us, Redeemed us, makes Himself available to us in His entirety through His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, unifies Himself with us, and remains with us in this vital manner until the end of time.
Through His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, and in the setting of a worship service and offering-wedding and wedding banquet during which God alone is worshiped and adored, Jesus comes to us as our Divine Holy Provision during Holy Communion.
JESUS CHRIST THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM AND WEDDING BANQUET
Through our spiritual, mental, and physical union with the Holy Eucharist, Jesus continues to love, sanctify, fortify, teach, and sustain us.
We are in to go to Him in the manner in which He came to us, through His Immaculate Mother.
Our Creator determined that we grow in Christ-likeness through the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary while sacrificially living, loving, serving, and patiently suffering as Almighty God wills, guided by the Holy Ghost, in imitation of and in union with her Divine Son.
Jesus personally gave her to us to be our Mother also, during His Sacred Passion.
He did so specifically while being unfathomably tortured, while immobilized after having been nailed to the Cross, and as He was giving His life up for us, while being publicly crucified on Mount Calvary.
“There is no better preparation for Holy Communion other than offering it to the Immaculate…She will prepare our heart in the best way possible, and we will be sure to give Jesus the greatest of joys and to show Him the greatest of loves." ~ Saint Maximilian Kolbe
JUST BEFORE TO THE START OF THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS CELEBRATED IN LATIN
“My Heart overflows with graces for souls. Lead them to my Eucharist Heart.” ~ Jesus to Blessed Dina Belanger (Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome, RJM)
Our Lord manifests Himself in the supernatural there in the natural being scourged at the pillar as one with you, within you, prior to offering Almighty God of the Prayers of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus.
The morning before, the Holy Ghost had manifested Himself in two distinct ways here during the offering of the Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin: through Jesus crucified on the Cross and also through the Traditional Catholic celebrant and member of the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ.
“Ask those souls who love Him with a true love and they will tell you that in the sorrows of their life their sweetest and truest consolation is to converse lovingly with God.” ~ Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
At first, while conversing with Perfection, your attention during this day’s event within an event is directed to the brutal force of the blows raining down on the most loving of all men and on the ruthless, diabolical rage directed at the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Then, your attention is directed to the worship and adoration of God alone.
“In short, so great is God's love for you that He seems to love no one but you. And therefore, you should love no one but Him.” ~ Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
MANY TEARS POUR FORTH THROUGHOUT THE BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL, QUIET, HOLY, AND HIDDEN OFFERING TO GOD OF THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS CELEBRATED IN LATIN
Truly we are loved and valued by God beyond measure.
"Our Lord spoke to me of the love of His Agonizing Heart. He made clear to me that, in the angel sent to console Him in Gethsemane, He saw all souls, and particularly all consecrated souls, who in the centuries to come would wish to share in His sufferings." ~ Blessed Dina Belanger (Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome, RJM)
The entire offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated with Christ's unfathomable scourging at the pillar in mind, with His offering of Himself in this manner and the humble reparative atonement He willingly endured for our sake to make atonement for our sins before giving up His life by way of public execution by crucifixion on the Cross to Redeem the entire human race.
Ecce Homo! Behold the Man.
HOLY HUMILITY
“When we hear people talk of riches, honors and amusements of the world, let us remember that all things have an end, and let us then say: 'My God, I wish for You alone and nothing more.'” ~ Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
To wed one’s life to Christ, one must be willing to grow in humility.
To grow in humility, one must become Christ-like.
To become Christ-like, one must receive Him sacramentally, the manner in which Almighty God wills for everyone, during the offering to Almighty God of one’s self in imitation of and in union with Christ the King of Self-Sacrifice during the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin, as our Triune God worshiped, loved, and adored.
LIFE-LONG HOLY COMMITMENT
Do not ask one’s self, “What do I like? What do I prefer? What do I want?”
Ask Almighty God, “What is Your most holy will?”
Then wait for His answer in His time.
At all times strive to accomplish God the Father’s will His way, which is always the right way, through repeated, ratified acts of one’s free will to cooperate with God our Father, together as one with Christ the Divine Bridegroom of every soul while guided by the Holy Ghost.
"Man has a fine function: to pray and to love. You pray, you love: that is man's happiness on earth!" ~ Saint John Vianney
Get to know the Immaculate Mother of God, who Almighty God gave an indispensable role in Salvation History and an apostolic mission in His Divine Economy of Salvation.
She is an important and vital part of each person's life.
Seek the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary so that in imitation of and in union with her own selfless "Fiat!", Almighty God's will is accomplished as He wills in imitation of and in union with Jesus her Divine Son.
“Mary having co-operated in our Redemption with so much glory to God and so much love for us, Our Lord ordained that no one shall obtain salvation except through her intercession.” ~ Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
The late Father Frederick William Faber reminded us that “Jesus makes heaven wherever He is.” Before him, Saint Paul of the Cross said, “If you seek the Cross, there you will find the Mother; and where the Mother is, there also is the Son."
IDOLATRY IS A LIE
Servant of God, Father John A. Hardon, S.J., warned that“idolatry is a lie.”
Idolatry is the worship of anything or anyone other than God, including one’s self and self interests.
“We grow in holiness in the degree to which we follow the teachings of Christ and imitate his virtues.” ~ Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., “The Divine Attributes Retreat: The Attributes of God, The Holiness of God”
THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM OF EVERY SOUL AND THE TWO OPEN BOOKS
“When you seek truth, you seek God whether you know it or not.” ~ Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Suddenly and without warning during the offering of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin, the open book on Christ's High Altar in the natural, which in the recent past had been manifested as the Divine Royal Wedding Album for every soul, is compared to an event that took place decades ago (circa the year 2000).
During that event, which occurred suddenly and without warning while at home, a huge open book appeared before you.
This book, which was about six feet high and even wider than that, was open to two pages in particular.
Those two pages described God our Creator's plan for marriage between one man and one woman.
What had been written in that book by its Divine Author was very loving, unfathomably beautiful, and clearly intelligent beyond anything that can be expressed through the human mind on its own.
While reading in the natural the incredible words written on the two open pages of this book that had suddenly appeared in the supernatural, the meaning of what was written was provided through an act of God from His perspective.
God's will for the human race detailed within this book is incomprehensible to those unwilling to cooperate with Him.
While taking everything in with such awe and with wonder, a voice that made no sound suddenly and distinctly stated,
"Keep your focus on eternity."
You did not know at that time but God knew: He first and then you had been betrayed, and your sacramental marriage was about to be publicly executed by crucifixion and discarded like worthless trash on the idolatrous altar of self-interest.
Then, you and your three very young children would be ruthlessly persecuted, any way possible, and that self-interested and calculated persecution continues to this day.
Many others would follow suit.
Unfathomably many followed suit, blinded by self-interested and inspired by self-loathing.
GOD IS FAITHFUL AND SO ARE HIS PEOPLE
"Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33, Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition).
On this day in the present time while in church, your attention having been drawn to the open book on Christ's High Altar which was described as the Divine Royal Wedding Album for every soul, there is a reminder that one's most important relationship, one's relationship with God, will not end nor can it ever be destroyed by the self-interested pride of others serving the wrong master(s).
The remedy Almighty God provided us for the sinful misuse of the human free will is Christ the Spotless Divine Victim who offered Himself on Mount Calvary in His time, and who does so also mystically in our time during the offering of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and who offers us His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament at His High Altars every day during Holy Communion.
We are to offer ourselves to Almighty God in imitation of and in union with Christ for His greater honor and glory first and foremost and then for the sake of all.
We are not to rely upon our own understanding when offering, and after having offered, this gift that given with purity of intention is always received and always put to best use.
ON KEEPING ONE'S FOCUS ON ETERNITY AND THE BLESSED SACRAMENT AS AN OPEN BOOK
"He (Jesus) always yearns to give Himself." ~ Blessed Dina Belanger (Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome, RJM)
Fall ever deeper in love, over and over and over and over, with the Divine King of All Kings, the Divine Bridegroom of Every Soul, our Divine Redeemer, Divine Restorer, and Divine Remedy for All.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
No one goes to the Father but by Him.
He is the Truth, Trustworthiness, and Eternal Faithfulness.
He is our Open Book, Divine Instructor, and Divine Healer.
"I found the motto for which I had sought so long, and which corresponded to my every aspiration and summarized all my sentiments: 'Love and let Jesus and Mary have their way.'
This was an expression that satisfied me. 'Love' that meant unto folly, even to martyrdom. 'Have their way' this was perfect surrender, the self-surrender that supposed annihilation and destruction of myself.
'Let Jesus have His way' meant let the God of love act freely; 'let Mary have Her way,' this was to entrust blindly to my Mother the task of realizing Jesus in me, cloaked and hidden by my outward being." ~ Blessed Dina Belanger (Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome, RJM)
AS CHANNELS OF GOD’S GRACES, WE ARE TO BE CHRIST'S OPEN BOOKS FOR OTHERS, IN IMITATION OF AND IN UNION WITH THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM OF EVERY SOUL
"Many saints, I had discovered one day, derived all their knowledge from contemplating their crucifix. I felt no need to seek in books the spiritual nourishment for which my soul was so hungry. No, the fact was that Jesus was providing me with it Himself. He became the Great Book in which there shone before my eyes, in large letters, the secret of happiness and the art of loving." ~ Blessed Dina Belanger (Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome, RJM), “The Autobiography of Dina Belanger, p. 77
Our sacrificial loving, living, serving, and patiently suffering in imitation of and in union with Christ through His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament prepares us for eternal union with God in heaven.
“We become effective channels of God's grace to others in the measure that we ourselves are living holy, Christ-like lives.” ~ Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
HOLY COMMUNION AND THE ART OF LOVING
"Holy Communion, for a soul consumed in Jesus, is the outpouring of the Infinite, the pleasure of sovereign perfection in supreme Beauty, the gift of the Eternal to the Uncreated, the embrace of God the Father and His Word which engenders the Spirit of Love, an outpouring of love between the three adorable persons, an effusion of tenderness from the Heart of indivisible Unity." ~ Blessed Dina Belanger (Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome, RJM)
After having returned to the back of the church unified with the Real Presence of Jesus in the Sacred Host, so deeply moved by His limitless love and desire to be loved by us in return, and while so grateful and desiring to accomplish Almighty God's will as He wills it in imitation of and in union with Christ, Jesus suddenly does the following.
At this moment during Holy Communion, He offers His and your union as one in Him to Almighty God our Father, as a Divine Royal Wedding gift for the Divine Bridegroom's Father.
“Let us love Jesus above all, let us love Mary as our mother; but then, how could we keep from loving Joseph, who was so intimately united to both Jesus and Mary? And how can we honor him better than by imitating his virtues? Now, what else did he do in all his life but contemplate, study, and adore Jesus, even in the midst of his daily labors? Behold, therefore, our model.” ~ Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat
