CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mystical Marriage |
 | | Here the mystical marriage consists in a vision in which Christ tells a soul that He takes it for His bride, presenting it with the customary ring, and the apparition is accompanied by a ceremony; the Blessed Virgin, saints, and angels are present. |
 | | All this, indeed, is involved in the notion of marriage. |
 | | Mystical writers have sometimes exaggerated in describing this grace; it has been said that we think by the eternal thought of God, love by His infinite love, and will by His will. |
