A 38-year-old woman has married the son of God in an unusual wedding ceremony at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Fort Wayne, Indiana, US, on August 15.
High school theology teacher Jessica Hayes is now a consecrated virgin –a woman who has been consecrated by the Catholic Church to a life of perpetual virginity in the service of God. She is to spend her time in works of penance and mercy, in apostolic activity and in prayer. Hayes decided to dedicate her life to God after years of praying and soul-searching.
She said: “My students asked if they should call me Mrs. Hayes when I come back to school next week, and no, I’m still Ms. But I am married to Jesus. I think that in some sense, we’re all called to be married. It’s just a matter of discerning how. So, my marriage is to Christ and someone else’s marriage is to their spouse.”
