Today is day 147 and we are studying The Sacrament of Marriage.

147. What is signified in marriage?

The union of husband and wife in one flesh signifies the communion between Christ, the heavenly bridegroom, and the Church, his holy bride. Not all are called or able to marry, but all Christians are joined to Christ as members of his Body. (Song of Solomon 8:6–7; Isaiah 54:4– 8; 1 Corinthians 7:6–11; Ephesians 5:22–33; Revelation 19:6–10; 21:1–4)

We will conclude today with Prayer 109. For Watchfulness on page 678 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
