Incredible depth and detail that opened up the Mass Readings for me.
Please please put it on a DVD..
Great introduction to the catechism. Left me wanting more. We need a explanation on every paragraph.

Based on Dr. Pitre's book Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.
Have you ever been asked the question: “Do You Have a Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ?” The answer for every Christ should be 'Yes'! However, it is interesting that the Bible never uses the expression “personal relationship” to describe how Christ relates to the Church. Instead, Scripture describes the relationship between Jesus and the Church as the love of a “Bridegroom” for his “Bride” (John 3:28; Ephesians 5:32). Why? How can Jesus be "the Bridegroom" when he had no wife?
In this eye-opening lecture, Dr. Pitre unveils the love of Christ in his Passion and the sacraments. In this talk, you will learn about topics such as:
• The Bridegroom God of the Old Testament
• John the Baptist, the “Best Man” of Jesus
• The First Miracle of Jesus: Water into Wine at a Wedding
• The Wedding Banquet of the Last Supper
• The Parallels between the Crucifixion and an Ancient Jewish Wedding
• Why Jesus' Side was Pierced on the Cross
• Why There Will Be No Marriage in the Resurrection
• The Biblical Roots of Virginity and Celibacy
If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about what it really means to have a “personal relationship” with Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and divine Bridegroom—then this is the Bible study for you.
I love it! I learn something new with each teaching. What a blessing the videos are.
This study gave me a much clearer understanding of Jesus and his mission on earth. It also helped me to understand how much he loves me!
I was aware of Jesus as the bridegroom references in the Bible, but not to the extent portrayed in the Old and the New Testaments. Thank you for the depth of research that included the extra biblical insights in the Jewish traditions. illuminating!
This was a wonderful lesson - it supports the covenantal understanding of our salvation history. My wife and I listened to the "Song of Songs Explained" by Dr Pitre after viewing the dvd, and made for an even greater lesson. Blessings
The informational content is very good, and overall Dr. Pitre is awesome, but this video is not good. There are no inserts of scripture or anything else to help hold people's attention. The background is terrible...
