A Marriage Made in Heaven Eucharist and Marital Communion: Catholic for a Reason III

Kimberly Hahn looks at these two great Sacraments - the Eucharist and Marriage - complement and relate to one another. Each aims at union and communion with the either our human spouse through whom we dedicate ourselves to our Lord; or our divine Spouse, who comes to us at every Mass. Hahn walks us through the marriage ceremony - the nuptial Mass - and explains how the love that is expressed through marriage is both fulfilled and supported by the Love that is expressed in the Eucharist. As she concludes, "Our reception of our spouse enriches our life-giving love; our reception of our Lord in the Eucharist makes our love fruitful."
