The Grail

We live in Christ, like we did in the womb from which we were born.  Thus we eat and drink his body and blood.  He brings us not just life on this earth, being the Light, The Word, The Life, but life that is eternal.  The Grail symbolizes all this.  Our marriage, like the Grail, is the vessel that bears our life in Christ to safe shores.  It is not the grapes of wrath that are our life but the wine of Christ.  Our minds and bodies connect  as wine poured into the grail and is blessed by  our marriage that the Lamb of God promises us in heaven as he first did the Israelites of Passover.  That is why Jesus calls himself the Bridegroom in his parables.

The Grail was lost after the Ascension of Christ to Heaven.  The Authorian legend about the earliest Christian government in history, the round table, has a part about the Grail.  The knights of the Round Table searched for it as symbolic of the one life that good government upholds.  Sir Gallahad was the knight who undertook to dedicate his life looking for the Grail.  His ourstanding virtue was purity.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic, refers to the Church as Christ, the Lily born across the Sea.  The Grail represents a government and the church it embodies has traversed the whole earth.  It is a sign that Christendom is united in the Spirit.

In the tumolt of World War III, we have found the Holy Grail of Christ.  The marriage which the enemy sought to trod under the earth, because it makes drug addiction subject to law by making the one life clear and absolute, is resurrected like the Holy Grail.  We are a consecrated people (A Holy People, a Priestly People, A Holy Nation of People set apart)

The marriage is the heartbeat of the Mass in which a chalice is used to represent the Holy Grail.  The weekly Sunday obligation is caught up in the discovery of the Grail and now a mass to celebrate the return of the earth to God. 

Let us pray that we have the confidence in the Lord of Lords to realize that his kingdom will come and through us.  Let us rejoice in the One Lord and the One Life.  Holy, Holy, Holy Lord.
