THREE TO GET MARRIED -Intro.....

PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

It takes three to make Love in Heaven--
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

It takes three for Heaven to make love to earth--
God, Man, and Mary, through whom God became Man.

It takes three to make love in the Holy Family--
Mary, and Joseph, and the consummation of their love, Jesus.

It takes three to make love in hearts--
The Lover, the Beloved, and Love.

     To that Woman 
Who taught the sublime mystery of Love, 
     Mary Immaculate, 
     This book is dedicated

That nations, hearts, and homes may learn 
That love does not so much mean to give oneself to another 
As for both lovers to give themselves to that Passionless Passion,
     Which is God.
