This is my niece's pick for a reading for her nuptial Mass. To better understand and read it, I'm doing a Lection Divina on it.
STUDIUM:
This is a narrative poem about the love between a young maiden and her lover. Metaphorically, it can be the love God has for His Church.
MEDITATIO:
This Reading begins with the lover rushing to find his beloved. Sometimes, I can't wait to get to my prayer time to be with God. I do feel like this Lover, rushing like a gazelle. And God is waiting for me. I begin with "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." This sign of the Cross is blazed on my body , like a blazing fire and water cannot wash it away.
ORATIO:
Thank you Jesus, for loving me.
CONTEMPLATIO:
Love is stronger than death. I accept the love of God and strive to make my love for Him a reflection of perfect love.
