Today allow the love God has for you to fill your heart, your mind and your soul.

From the Song of Songs [2:8-14; 8:6-7]

The coming of the beloved

Hark! my lover—here he comes
   springing across the mountains,
   leaping across the hills.
My lover is like a gazelle
   or a young stag.
Here he stands behind our wall,
   gazing through the windows,
   peering through the lattices.

My lover speaks; he says to me,
   “Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one,
   and come!
For see, the winter is past,
   the rains are over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
   the time of pruning the vines has come,
   and the song of the dove is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
   and the vines, in bloom, give forth fragrance.
Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one,
   and come!

“O my dove in the clefts of the rock,
   in the secret recesses of the cliff,
Let me see you,
   let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
   and you are lovely.”

Set me as a seal on your heart,
   as a seal on your arm;
For stern as death is love,
   relentless as the nether world is devotion;
   its flames are a blazing fire.
Deep waters cannot quench love,
   nor floods sweep it away.
Were one to offer all he owns to purchase love,
   he would be roundly mocked.

God who is creator of the universe longs to have a deep abiding relationship with you.  In fact God sent His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ to share His body and blood with us in the Eucharist to nourish us until we are in Heaven with our maker.

May God Be Praised!
