UPHOLD YOUR DUTY: DO NOT FORESAKE YOUR ROLE IN ADORNING AND EMPOWERING THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

The Church as the Bride of Christ represents an ongoing, sacred relationship between Christ and His followers.This divine marriage emphasizes the connection and commitment between Christ, the head, and the Church, His body. Just as a husband is the head of the wife, Christ is the head of the Church. This inseparable bond means that to detach from the Church is to detach from Christ Himself, as discipleship cannot exist without a connection to the Church.
Preparing the Church as the bride of Christ is a continuous process. Despite our imperfections and the blemishes that mar the Church due to human frailty, Christ’s love and dedication remain steadfast. He adorns His bride daily through His Word and sacraments, constantly working to sanctify and beautify the Church. This ongoing preparation mirrors the daily commitment required in marriage, highlighting the need for us to recognize and address our own imperfections to contribute to the Church's holiness.
Every sacrament we celebrate reinforces our role as the bride of Christ, adorning us and drawing us closer to Him. Through baptism, confession, and the Eucharist, we become part of this divine union, reaffirming our place within the Church. Mary, as the Mother of the Church, plays a crucial role in this process, interceding for us and guiding the Church in her ministry.
Christ’s covenant with His Church is unbreakable. He continually nourishes and cares for His bride, molding us through our daily experiences and changes. As members of the Church, we must embrace this journey, understanding that our faith goes beyond mere emotions to a deep, transformative relationship with Christ. By staying within the Church and participating in the sacraments, we remain adorned as the bride of Christ, continually preparing for the eternal union with our divine Groom.

This is indeed divine wisdom. I will look at the church differently now with me as a part of it and not the church as a separate entity. Christ never gives up on us and for that, I am eternally grateful.
