MOTHER DIVINE:

'PEACE, FATHER Dear and PEACE, Everyone: I could not let this opportunity go by without rising on my feet and giving glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to the One and only One to whom all glory belongs!

'Truly, as Mr. Norris has said, this marriage has great significance in the world today, and it is the most significant marriage that has ever taken place since the beginning of time! That I know, and because it is not a marriage of the flesh! It is not a marriage of man and woman for passion and self-indulgence, nor for material possessions, but it is the marriage of GOD to HIS creation!

'Since 1946 the truth and the reality of the marriage of GOD to HIS Church has been proclaimed both here and abroad, but few realize the mighty significance that it really has. It means just that!--the marriage of GOD Himself to his creation!

'Truly, mankind has sought perfect love. They have sought it in many avenues of life. But I venture to say, every one has failed to find it! And it took only the condescension of GOD Himself to come in a beautiful, holy, immaculate, virtuous body to bring us perfect love!--and that is what this is all about!

'Perfect love cannot be confined to an individual or to two individuals. It is something that is universal; something that cannot be confined or cannot be limited. It transcends all personality and all individuality!

'It is that something that can be enjoyed by each and every individual, who will but place themselves in a state of consciousness whereby they can receive this perfect love!

'Much glory and much honor and much praise has been bestowed upon ME as a person, for FATHER'S condescension in marrying ME as a sample and as an example of how each and every one should be joined to their Maker and their Creator--as Isaiah said,

`Thy Maker is thine Husband. The Lord of hosts is His name. Thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. The GOD of the whole earth shall he be called!''
