"You were wondering how to use those moments when you wake up in the night. Speak to Me of love, ardently desiring you next Communion... Call Me by the gentlest names, even when you are half asleep..."
"1 I Am a Rose of Sharon, a Lily of the Valleys. 2 As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. 3 As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 5 Sustain me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am sick with love. 6 O that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!...1 Upon my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer. 2 "I will rise now and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves." I sought him, but found him not. 3 The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city. " Have you seen him whom my soul loves?" 4 Scarcely had I passed them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go..."- Song of Songs 2:1-6, 3:1-4
This is such a beautiful picture of our relationship with Jesus, Our Divine Spouse :) It goes perfectly with that private revelation.
