Song of Songs 4:15
All hearts that desire to live enclosed in the Bridegroom’s love, in union with His will, and abiding in Him, the Source of Living Water, are welcome regardless of vocation or state in life.
“She belongs to her beloved. She is his, in a way that is impossible for any being to belong to another being; for there is in me something that is inalienable and that can be surrendered to no man on earth, no matter how bound he is to me.”
Father Blaise Arminjon, The Cantata of Love: A Verse by Verse Reading of the Songs
I am my Beloved’s, and his desire is for me.
