This very deeply moving Traditional Catholic Mystical Wedding Theology lesson for every soul began last August (2025) in an olive garden during the offering of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin, and formed the Tridentine Documentary's Chapter 25 from Part 3. "If you are wise, you will make yourselves reservoirs rather than conduits." ~ Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
A DIVINE ROYAL WEDDING OFFERING IN AN OLIVE GROVE INSIDE OF GOD'S HOUSE
"Always keep your life united to Jesus Christ in the olive garden where He agonized and suffered. Participating there in the anointing of His grace and the comfort of His strength, you will later find yourself in that same olive garden after death, but participating the joys of His ascension and glory." ~ Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
During each offering of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin, one not only weds one's life to Jesus Christ our Savior and the Divine Bridegroom of every soul while two-offerings-of-self having become one in Him are given to Almighty God so that His will is accomplished, as He wills it, as our Triune God alone is worshiped and adored.
One also weds the Cross and enters into the mystery of Christ's Sacred Passion and mankind's Redemption, by first joining Him in the Garden of Gethsemane.
"Give me access to the most intimate depths of the Heart of Jesus, so that I may commune there on the bitterness which led Him to the Mount of Olives... May I be joined to Him, abandoned by His Father and by Himself, so that I may expiate with Him." ~ Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
From Matthew 26:36-46, Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition:
"Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me. And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.
And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy. And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.
Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me."
THE OFFERING OF THE TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS THAT BEGAN IN THE NATURAL IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE IN THE SUPERNATURAL FUNCTIONS AS AN OLIVE PRESS
"What an honor God confers on us, when He calls us to travel the same road as His Divine Son!" ~ Saint Paul of the Cross
Our cooperation is willingly extracted throughout the parts of the Traditional Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as souls are prepared to accomplish God's will at all times, come what may, which includes sharing in the other events of Christ's Sacred Passion.
Each willing one is then to express the sacrificial love of Jesus while living, loving, serving, and patiently suffering as Almighty God wills for each one, guided by the Holy Ghost, after the Holy Sacrifice of the Holy Mass concludes, for our lives are an incredible extension and manifestation of It.
"If you really want to love Jesus, first learn to suffer, because suffering teaches you to love." ~ Saint Gemma Galgani
Each one of us has a God-given role in our Creator's Divine Economy of Salvation, and each one's mission is to be lived and be fulfilled in imitation of and in union with Christ through His Sacraments.
"Nothing afflicts the heart of Jesus so much as to see all His sufferings of no avail to so many." ~ Saint John Vianney
THE CONSECRATION: THE REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT IN EACH OF THE TWO SACRED SPECIES COMES TO AND FOR US AFTER HAVING GONE THROUGH THE OIL PRESS
That includes His Bloody Sweat.
"He who wishes to love God does not truly love Him if he has not an ardent and constant desire to suffer for His sake." ~ Saint Aloysius Gonzaga
Suffering for His sake often begins with betrayal.
Betraying another person is a sin against the Greatest Two Commandments, for it is first a sin against God as well as a sin against one's fellow man.
Betrayal seeks its own will, not the perfect will of God.
"Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you." ~ Matthew 5:10-12, Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
Suffering often imitates Christ being sold for 30 pieces of silver; often imitates having been kissed on His Holy Face by the betrayer from among His inner circle; often imitates His being publicly singled out, humiliated, and punished while guiltless; and often imitates the Spotless Lamb of God being mercilessly targeted by the self-interested forces of darkness.
Christ's followers strive at all times to cooperate with God and without counting the personal cost, "For the Almighty God...being Himself supremely good, would never permit the existence of anything evil among His works, if He were not so omnipotent and good that He can bring good even out of evil" (Saint Augustine).
Divine Royal wedding presents.
"By offering My Face to my Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained." ~ Jesus to Sister Mary of St. Peter of the Work of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus
THE LORD'S PRAYER: THE ACCOMPLISHING OF GOD'S MOST PERFECT WILL IS A WEDDING GIFT OF IMMEASURABLE WORTH THERE IN THE GARDEN OF OLIVES IN THE OIL PRESS
This lesson for every soul incorporates the will, trust, wills, and trusts – and life-long weddings to the Divine Bridegroom of every soul where God provides us with Himself.
What wonders!
Who returns one's wedding gifts?
Our gift back to Jesus who gifts us with Himself is to accept the gift given us by our Eternal Father and to gratefully use it as He wills, without ceasing.
That gift of immeasurable and eternal worth is His Work of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus.
"By My Holy Face they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy upon sinners." ~ Jesus to Sister Mary of St. Peter of the Work of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus
Every person has a God-given holy apostolate of reparation unique to him/her, an apostolate that is to be unified with Christ's apostolic mission for the greater honor and glory of our Triune God and then for the sake of all others.
"Suffering born in a Christian way is the condition that God, the author of all grace and of all the gifts that lead to salvation, has established for granting us glory." ~ Saint Padre Pio
HOLY COMMUNION: "ALL MINE"
I am all Christ's, and He is all mine.
How vital it is for the survival and thriving, and for the bearing of precious, priceless, and eternally lasting fruit from this union with the Divine Will of God through Jesus Christ that one live with one's Divine Royal Redeemer Spouse, never to be parted.
"When the heart is pure and simple it cannot help loving, because it has discovered the source of love which is God." ~ Saint John Vianney
DIVINE UNION: THE OIL PRESS WITHIN THE HEART
There is Divine oil press within the heart that is unified with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and with the Immaculate Heart of His Immaculate Mother.
What wonders our Triune God works through it, and that is quite a meditation while unified with the Real Presence of Jesus in His entirety (Sacred Body, Precious Blood, Soul, and Divinity) in the Blessed Sacrament during Holy Communion.
So grateful.
THE MARIAN PRAYERS
"In your trials, have recourse to Mary and She will remedy them." ~ Saint Paul of the Cross
Our Lady takes the oil from the oil press and like any good wife and mother, the Immaculate Mediatrix of all of God's lavish and superabundant Divine supernatural graces makes unfathomably good things come from each person's unconditional "FIAT" given to Almighty God in union with Christ.
FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE HOLY SACRIFICEWe join our Savior and Divine Bridegroom of every soul in an olive garden, inside the olive press, over and over and over and over, during the stages, seasons, and events throughout life, individually and collectively, first in God's House and then every where else, to suffer His Sacred Passion in imitation of and in union with Him - and as He joins us during every moment of our sacrificially loving offering of ourselves in His honor.
NO SOUL LEFT BEHIND  |
