Called to be bride of Christ?

[bluebird123]

Recently in prayer I felt Jesus asking me to be His bride

I am not sure if this is a vocational calling or a spiritual calling for a deeper spiritual intimacy
I do not feel attraction/called to religious vocations and I have discerned them in the past. Most of my life I’ve been praying for my future husband and future children and a lot of these prayers have been confirmed and affirmed through scripture so I am a bit confused about the connotation of this message.

I would say yes! If God asks me to do something I would totally do it…God have mercy pls don’t put me to the test!

We are all (corporately) as part of His One Body, the Church, the Bride of Christ.

Bride of Christ refers specifically to Consecrated Virgin.

I’m somewhat jealous of female believers -
that they can get to know Jesus in an entirely different way than man does -
they can be true - brides of Christ !
I DO NOT like to think of myself as a bride, thank you. I am seagull ! :crazy_face:

St John of the Cross refers to the soul as “she”.

I know - in The Book of Proverbs - Wisdom - is called her

Don’t sell female vocations short. Like everything else God does, they are wonderful and beautiful.
