Here is the link to part 8: “Mater Ecclesia – Sponsa Christi” means “Mother Church – Spouse of Christ.” It is an approach to the history of the Old Covenant from the perspective of the Church, the Bride of Christ and our Mother, who, as the ancient Fathers said, has “existed from the beginning of creation” through the Trinity’s plan–his plan to incorporate us all into one Body, into the communion of his own divine life of love and intimacy.

VIII. Mater Ecclesia – Sponsa Christi

Joshua

I know that your heart yearns, little one, to create something beautiful, a testament of love, a reflection, in the dimness of this world, of the radiant beauty of my own eternal light. I know the longing within to give birth without, the desire to create, sharing in eternal creativity. I want you to know, beloved, and to feel that the greatest masterpiece which I desire for you is the unspeakable beauty which is you yourself. You, the one whom I infinitely love, are the icon, transparent to my shining glory, enfolded in my grace, a blaze of fiery light bursting through the eyes, a figure whose countenance, whose heart, whose life is a reflection of the life, the heart, the face which is my own.
