Scripture: Song of Songs 1:2
Journal: Sit still in God’s presence this day and receive his kiss.
Reflection:
Let us not suppose ecstasy is ruled out for
ordinary people like ourselves. It is
not as though we had invented it, or as though we had written the rules. The Lord seizes us suddenly with a quick
burst of affection. His power flows to
us. He sweeps us up. Everything else stands still for a kiss that
is passionate, tender, demanding. In
anticipation of this kiss, whole lives are altered and overturned. In the aftermath of this kiss, destinies and
ambitions and careers are discarded like old pairs of gloves. This is the sign of a love in which there is
no disenchantment, no chance of boredom, no ultimate letdown. All is climax. This kiss is the pledge of a union that feeds
and heals us, clothes and shelters us, that makes us Christ. (Clinging by

Prayer
Closing
Prayer: Oh, my God, let me not be afraid, no matter
how high I am, knowing that you are near and that You are the maker and
originator and master of the heights. (Clinging by Emilie Griffin)
