God who is immune of all needs envisions His Bride and out of desire He creates her – male and female.  He loves His Bride so much that He creates a world of abundance for her.  Nothing would be spared for His Bride–His creation.   His creation is a sign of His love and His love is selfless, patient, compassionate and kind, but the Bride of Christ is deceived and is unfaithful to her Bridegroom.  Nonetheless the Bridegroom’s love does not fail.  He will rescue His Bride for He knew from the beginning that evil would tempt her and that she would fall.

Assuming the flesh that He has given His Bride – male and female, God enters the world through the Virgin Mary, to redeem His Bride, paying an infinite price for all the sins that would keep them apart.  But His Bride does not recognize her Saviour immediately.  The Creator walks amongst His creation, full of wisdom and love, yet He is rejected, mocked, tortured and killed.  Before He dies Jesus tells His Bride that she will never be alone for He will send His Holy Spirit into the world He created for her to guide her, to teach her and to comfort her.  “I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you.”  John 14:18

The gates of Paradise are opened by the sacrifice of the Bridegroom who is faithful and true.  The Bride repents of her unfaithfulness and waits patiently for the eternal reunion with the Holy One who imagined her, created her, loved her, sacrificed for her, waited for her and always knew she would come back to Him with all her heart. She remembers His final instructions, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”  John 14; 15

Bride of Christ let us return to the Holy One who made us, who suffered for us and who promises us a Kingdom of Peace for all eternity.  How can we ever be worthy of the love of Jesus?  May that question live forever in our hearts and minds and may our ever action flow out of love for our Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, who never gives up on His creation, His Bride, His Church.

Let’s never let a day go by without remembering how much Jesus suffered to save us!  Join me everyday at 3pm, the time Jesus died for us, in a solemn prayer in honour of Our Redeemer Jesus Christ whose love has no bounds.  I love You Jesus! You are my heart’s desire.
