Excerpts from the brochure: Jesus is your bridegroom. The Lord desires an intimate relationship with each of us. For he who has become your husband is your Maker; His name is the Lord of hosts.Isaiah 54:5 John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the bridegroom. I am not the Messiah, but that I was sent before him.The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease. John 3:28-30 Paul explains how our relationship to Christ is nuptial. I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.For if someone comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted you submit to it readily enough.2 Corinthians 11:2-4
On the cross Christ confirmed this intimate love for us with his final words, “It is consummated.” Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding
feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, "These words are true; they come
from God."
Revelation 19:9 If you are His bride, are you being faithful? Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless, of course, you fail the test. 2 Corinthians 13:5 What could possibly be wrong with Yoga? Hindus did not devise these exercises for athletic limbering or muscle building. All were meant to lead the practitioner to enlightenment and the awareness of his or her inner divinity. [To become divine is not the goal of a Christian. God abides within us.] From Fr. Mitch Pacwa. Catholics and the New Age. One must mention the unmentionable.Besides offending our Lord who loves us more than we can possibly
imagine, one of the grave dangers of venturing outside the protection of
Christianity and delving into non-Christian religions, New Age, and
occult spirituality is picking up demonic spirits. If you doubt this statement,
browse through any Catholic or Christian book section on deliverance of evil
spirits or spiritual warfare. They will all agree with this fact. For
you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children
of light.... Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in
fruitless works of darkness. Ephesians 5:8-10
