In our third podcast on the Song of Songs, we investigate its mystic meaning, and its teaching of love as the means to reach God.

We read the contents of the Song of Songs, and see how natural the mystic understanding of it is. We discover that the many dazzling images form one super-image of the beauty of God and the desirability of uniting with Him (in so far as is possible). The meditation takes us in this direction.

Between any sense of the presence and of the absence of God, there is not any void - love waits in hope. This nourishes our contemplation.

In our third episode on the Book of Proverbs, we ask the elusive question: what exactly is Wisdom? Then we contemplate wisdom, so as to have more of it in our lives.

Today we learn about Wisdom in the Book of Proverbs, the instrument of God created in the creation before the creation! And then we meditate upon this mystery.

We begin to read the Book of Proverbs, and examine the almost astounding meaning of the "Fear of God," and close with a contemplation to benefit from this new understanding.

In the third treatment of the Book of Ecclesiastes, we see how we can cleanse our souls in contemplation, and view the world in the light of eternity. We then attempt such a contemplation.

We explore how the Book of Ecclesiastes is true in three ways: as the testimony of King Solomon, as the teaching of Christ, and as the diary of our lives and chronicle of our times, written by the Holy Spirit before we were born.

We close with contemplating the gift of life.

We now begin to meditate, like Maronites, on Scripture. We begin with the Book of Ecclesiastes, and illustrate how to meditate upon this Scriptire.

We return to the Prayer of Jesus in Latin, and deepen our understanding of the contemplative work. This is the last of our series on the Jesus Prayer.
