Sacrament and Mystery (Part Two)
Welcome to this episode of the Be Filled Podcast! In this episode we continue our conversation about God’s eternal plan for us by discussing Audiences 96-99 of St. Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. We look at how marriage was established from the beginning as the "primordial sacrament” that was meant to help us understand and experience love.
Quotes:
“Man is the highest expression in the visible world of the divine gift. He has within himself the “inner dimension of the gift”..marriage is a sign that efficaciously transmits in the visible world the invisible mystery hidden in God from eternity. And this is the mystery of Truth and of Love, the mystery of divine life, in which man really participates.” (TOB 96:1)
“...the primordial gift given to man by God already included within itself the fruit of election..chosen to be holy and immaculate before Him.” (TOB 96:3)
“Before sin…man carried in his soul the fruit of eternal election in Christ, the eternal Son of the Father.” (TOB 96:4)
“Redemption was to become the source of man’s supernatural endowment after sin, and in a certain sense despite sin. This supernatural endowment which took place before original sin, that is, the grace of original justice and innocence…was brought about precisely out of regard for him, that one and only Beloved, while chronologically anticipating his coming in the body.” (TOB 96:5)
“..the heritage of grace was driven out of the human heart when man broke the first covenant with the creator…marriage as the primordial sacrament was deprived of the supernatural efficaciousness it drew at the moment of its institution from the sacrament of creation in its totality…Marriage never ceases to be the figure of the sacrament, about which we read in Ephesians 5:22-33 and which the author does not hesitate to call a “great mystery”.”(TOB 97:1)
“The visibility of the Invisible belongs thus to the order of signs, and the “sign” merely indicates the reality of the mystery, but does not “unveil” it.” (TOB 97:5)
“...as the primordial sacrament, marriage is assumed and inserted into the integral structure of the new sacramental economy, which has arisen from redemption in the form ... .of a “prototype”. (TOB 98:2)
“Christ nourishes the Church with his Body precisely in the Eucharist.” (TOB 99:1)
