Tenth Station of the Holy Eucharist: Marriage of the Lamb

Introduction:

The Stations of the Holy Eucharist are a devotional practice that helps the faithful meditate on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They connect biblical events, both from 
the Old and New Testaments, to the mystery of the Eucharist, showing how God prepared humanity for the gift of His Son and His Body and Blood in the Sacrament. Each station 
includes prayers, reflections, and often a call to deepen faith, hope, and love for Christ in the Eucharist. Each station will be published separately. 

Opening Prayer: 

Lord, open my mind and heart to the treasures of Your Truth as revealed in the Doctrine of the Real Presence. Grant that my eyes may see, through faith’s vision, the wonders of Your Love in the Most Holy Eucharist.  As I meditate on the mystery of Your Hidden Presence, I entreat You to increase my faith, enkindle my hope, and deepen my love for You, my Eucharistic King.  Amen.

Before each Station pray: O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine.  All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.

TENTH STATION: 

THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB: THE EUCHARIST IS THE PLEDGE OF ETERNAL LIFE

“Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready… Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” (Revelation 19: 7,9)

Lord, in the Holy Eucharist, Your reign over the hearts of men has truly begun.  Each Holy Communion can be compared to the marriage of the Lamb with the soul.  Yet Your Presence is veiled, and we look forward with blessed hope to that day when we shall see You as You are.  We anticipate that day when You will say to us: Come, blessed of My Father, enter the joy of the Lord.  In Holy Communion, You give us a foretaste of the joy that will be ours in the Kingdom.  We ask that You continue to increase our desire for union with You at the Eternal Wedding Feast of Heaven.

After each station pray: Eucharist Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!  Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, pray for us!  Amen
