In this profound reflection, Bishop Fulton Sheen reveals a striking perspective on the Crucifixion: “Do you know what is happening now on the cross? It’s a wedding.” From the beginning, scripture is steeped in the language of marriage. God tells Israel, “I am your husband; you are my spouse.” Now, at the foot of the cross, this divine marriage reaches its culmination.

The New Adam, Christ, stands on the cross, with the New Eve, Mary, beneath it. In this sacred moment, as He entrusts Mary to John, the consummation of a new covenant unfolds. This is where the New Testament truly begins—Christ’s sacrifice initiating the ultimate marriage between God and humanity.

A powerful reminder that the cross is more than sacrifice; it’s a divine union, binding us to God forever. 🙏
