This blog will attempt to make the hierogamous more clear, more noticeable to its readers. There are holy unions of complimentary opposites all around us, heaven coming down to earthly afairs, men and women uniting in a sacramental union, body and soul working together rather than against each other. Jesus not merely becoming flesh, but even becoming Food for us.

heavenly "Cold Heaven"
While channel surfing I discovered the unexpectedly good "Cold Heaven", which portrayed spiritual warfare quite believably. The portrayal of the unbelieving visionary Maria Davenport was believable, as was the diabolic relapses of her husband Alex, connected to her wavering between her husband and her lover and the prophetically dreaming Sr. Martha. The best part however was Fr. Niles' encouraging the adultress to go "sin no more" and go back to her husband, even before she knows he's been healed. He runs back. The devil's dispossesion of Msgr. Cassidy was believable too, though seen only by the viewer. It was very pro-prayer, pro-marriage, very much like experiences I've had or heard of, though it didn't look like it would be at first glance. Such subtle, hierogamous interventions of the heavenly in our lives are puzzling to those who don't experience them but quite believable to us who do.
