Song 2:8-14
My Beloved, how wonderfully the
Song of the Lover in these verses captures the desire, the longing, the utter
joy of loving and being loved in return. You eagerly seek Me. You speak and my
heart is aglow at the ardor of Your love for me Your nothing. You watch me
constantly Your eyes never wavering for I am Your delight. You invite me into
an every closer and more intimate union with You. Every prayer I pray You answer before the
words are out of my mouth You grant me all I desire and more. You give me Yourself
completely in the Holy Eucharist and there is nothing so wonderfully as the
sweet thrill of truly becoming one with You My Lord, My Beloved, My Soul.
You call me constantly to awareness
of Your Presence in me, around me above and below me – everywhere I look You
are there. Where You are is love, joy, peace, beauty, laughter. There is
silence, awe, reverence, worship, ardor. You see in me what I cannot see in
myself. You call me by the sweetest, most tender names and I forget that I am
unworthy, I am a sinner, one who without You is truly abjectly,nothing. You
invite me into Your Presence every morning. You wait eagerly for me. You long
to hear the sound of my voice my praises, my prayers, telling You of my love
for You – my poor love for You and You take pleasure in the telling of it. My
love is a poor shadow of Yours for Me My Beloved but it is all Your own.
