Song of Songs (Part 2)
This episode we are continuing our discussion, with JPII, on the Song of Songs and how the Bride and Bridegroom are living out the spousal meaning of their bodies. JPII sheds light on how the theology of our bodies can transform our lives and relationships. We talk about how this applies to our marriages and how you can apply it in your life!
Quotes:
“The truth of love, which is proclaimed by the Song of Songs cannot be separated from the “language of the body”. The truth of love enables the same “language of the body” to be reread in the truth. This is also the truth of the increasing closeness of the spouses, which grows through love: and closeness means also initiation into the mystery of the person. However, it in no way signifies the violation of that mystery.” (TOB 111:1)
“As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. I sit in his shadow, for which I longed, and sweet is his fruit to my taste.” (Song 2:3-6)
“The reciprocal closeness expressed through the body is above all a source of the growth of the intimate “language of the heart”. (TOB 111:2)
“The verses spoken by the man-bridegroom…concentrate above all on the specific “revelation of femininity,” the visible expression of which more and more dominates the eyes and heart of the bridegroom.” (TOB 111:2)
“I am my beloved’s and his desire is for me. Come, my beloved, let us go into the fields, and pass the night in the villages. Let us go out early in the morning to the vineyards; we will see whether the vines have budded, whether the flowers have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom: There I will give you my caresses.” (Song 7:10-13)
“She goes to meet him with the readiness of the gift of self. The love that unites them is of a spiritual and sensual nature together…because the man and the woman together must constitute the sign of the reciprocal gift of self, which impresses the seal on their whole life.” (TOB 111:5)
“One has the impression that in reaching each other, in experiencing closeness to each other, they ceaselessly continue to tend toward something.” (TOB 112:1)
“Upon my bed at night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not….I will rise now and go about the city, through the streets and through the squares; I will seek the beloved of my heart.” (Song 3:1-4)
“I sleep, but my heart is awake. Listen! my beloved is knocking. Open to me, my sister, my friend, my dove, my perfect one.” (Song 5:2)
“In the Song of Songs, human eros reveals the face of love ever in search and, as it were, never satisfied.” (TOB 112:4)
