Key Concepts

• Throughout Sacred Scripture God uses the analogy of the Church as a bride and God as a husband; this same analogy is used by Christ. The Church is the bride of Christ, and Christ sanctifies the Church by sacrificing himself for her.

• Mass is the wedding feast of the Church and Christ. We are all invited to this wedding feast and Christ gives himself to us in the Eucharist. We must arrive at Mass prepared and properly disposed to celebrate this wedding feast.

• The Mass is the demonstration of God’s love for us; “the greatest love story ever told is contained in a tiny white host.”
