FATHER DIVINE in His office
"Since My Marriage to My Spotless, Virgin Bride, My Attributes, My Nature and My Characteristics are being propagated and reproduced as never before, for My True and Faithful love ME more and more. And this Holy Love is like a rose. It is first enclosed in the bud. Then it blossoms forth in all its Beauty and Purity. And then it grows and grows. And this Mighty, Holy Love is now encircling the globe. It is entwined around the contrite hearts of My children universally, and is purifying them and purging them, making them fit temples for the indwelling of My Spirit. . . .
"Thus, the vines of My Love have extended to the furthermost parts of the earth, and its tendrils have a firm and secure hold that grows stronger and stronger as each Anniversary Celebration and Review imprints more vividly upon the tables of your hearts.
"Hence, this Marriage is the Salvation and Deliverance of humanity. And this is why it is so profound, so unique and so phenomenal! That is why My children universally rejoice and celebrate with us simultaneously even though they may not be present with us personally; for this Holy Marriage was for the purpose of uniting more effectively Heaven and earth and giving mankind a new birth into this Royal Family of GOD."
New Day, May 27, 1950, p. 37
