Fr of Bride introduction
Dowry…
the Bride’s family.
Why?
An inheritance.
God did not leave us a book, but a Church.
Your builder will marry you
Love builds up (2nd reading)
Your sons will marry you.
He wed that Church on the cross
(Bridal washings and such).
The washing of the Hebrews at Sinai, The blood and the covenant, but the washing of feet first.
The stone jugs were used in ceremonial washings…for weddings?!
Comparing the wedding and baptism, where the groom washes the bride.
(Eph 5:25-27 )
Christ comes down at baptism, we are baptized into Him.
But he does it through the priest, its not me baptizing so much as it is Christ.
Thus, baptism is like the washing before the wedding.
Aquinas says that all the sacraments are ordered towards the Eucharist.
Baptism makes it possible to receive the Lord.
Sin prohibits me.
Confession makes me able to receive the Eucharist again.
The priesthood makes it possible to affect the Eucharist.
Marriage is ordered towards unity and procreation.
The Eucharist is the fulfillment of this on this earth, and procreation brings more children towards the Eucharist through baptism.
And so, what does Christ do at the Last Supper?
He washes his disciples’s (The Church) feet so that they may enjoy the wedding banquet.
The one who constructs the New Israel, the Church, is wedding His Church, that will be consummated on the Cross!
This is what Christ was thinking about at Cana
Christ provides tens of thousands of dollars of wine…
The Maitre’d goes to the bridegroom.
Mary says, “They’ve run out of wine” (Isaiah 24:7, 9, 11
Isaiah 24:11 (NABRE)
In the streets they cry out for lack of wine; all joy has grown dim, cheer is exiled from the land.
Woman - what to me to you?
Isaiah 25:7 Prophecy.
Isaiah 25:7 (NABRE)
On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, The web that is woven over all nations.
He is still the bridegroom, we must look for him, like in Song of Songs,
But we’ve found Him, but then He goes away, until we find Him again.
Mary Finds Him, but He Ascends so that He can send us the Spirit, so that we can be formed to be with Him forever in Heaven…no divorce in God.
We are at the wedding feast and not yet, “My hour has not yet come - “
They are out of wine, but she was speaking of wedding wine, He was already thinking of the Last Supper.
There I will provide wine for all nations
Fulfilling the lack of wine in Isaiah.
John 2:6–12 (NCBC NT): In Amos 9:11, 13; Joel 3:18; Isaiah 25:6, the advent of the messianic age is signified by an abundance of rich and sweet wine
When we are at Mass we taste this wine, the new Covenant.
The Maitre’d calls the servants, not slaves, but deacons.
So the deacons bring the wine.
So the deacons are ordinary ministers of the Eucharist!.
And for this reason because Christ is the bride groom and we are the bride, sin is a kin to spiritual adultery.
So in the Old Testament God compares Israel with his bride, but after doing so he always says how the bride has prostituted herself out to the other nations, this is because of sin.
And this is why Jesus is so against sin, because we are his body when we sin we commit spiritual adultery against him.
Ezekiel 16:8, 15-22
