THE LOVE STORY OF GOD AND MAN<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u2026The first human words quoted in Genesis<\/a> are of a man\u2019s delight at his wife. The last human words quoted in Revelation<\/a> are of a woman\u2019s delight at her husband. Christ\u2019s marriage with the Church restores the unity intended from the beginning.<\/p>\n

Mankind\u2019s first liturgical act produced a human victim<\/a>. So does (so must, you might say) the final liturgical act<\/a>. (Which is why, I suppose, the Church\u2019s liturgy cannot be other than a re-presentation of Christ\u2019s sacrifice. \u201cIt is finished,\u201d as He said, and if we are doing something else or something more, then we are in some way continuing the line of insufficient liturgies<\/a> offered between Abel\u2019s death and Jesus\u2019.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
