Now let us consider husband and wife for the used to be vessels of man and woman until they were blessed, now this husband and wife have set apart themselves, no longer to be just a man and a woman but a husband and wife. Therefore now note that these vessels names have been changed to husband and wife.

This Chalice so blessed holds the Blood of Christ, a new life in Christ and when it is elevated above the alter, it represents the life of every man, who has blessed by a woman to be her husband.

This Ciborium so blessed holds the Body of Christ, a new life in Christ and when it is elevated above the alter, it represents the life of every woman, who has been blessed by a man to be his wife.

The husband blessed his wife with the words, “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb for it shall bear my children”. The wife says, “Blessed are you among men and blessed is your seed for it shall bring forth my children”. Thus a man and a woman become a husband and a wife. Thus they set themselves on their domestic alter set aside themselves as the only vessels to hold their new creation in Christ. Thus the domestic alter and the alter of our Lord become one.

“Charity is at the heart of the Church’s social doctrine… Everything has its origin in God’s love, everything is shaped by it, everything is directed toward it” (no. 2).

Thus marriage and holy orders become one and the church is the larger family of the domestic family and the Eucharist is each families Incarnation.
