A Spiritual Life

When Jesus died on the cross, he married the Church to himself. Through the sacrament of baptism, we are brought into the family of God forming a covenantal bond with God and his family. The Father has given us, his children, to Jesus in a spiritual espousal. We are given Divine union through the sacrament of Holy Communion. Because we are married to Jesus, he will take us on the path, uniquely designed for each soul, that will heal us and reveal to us how God has made us to be so that we can join him in heaven in the eternal union.

Jesus makes us more like himself. When he brings us into relationship with our Christian brothers and sisters, Jesus wants to love us through the other, revealing our espousal to him in one another. Our union and communion with others happens when we are of one mind, heart, and spirit in Jesus. He leads us through the brokenness and reconciliation to bring us into his peace.
