Saint Mary Magdalen – Feast
First reading – Song of Songs 3:1-4
“On my bed, at night, I sought him whom my heart loves”. The relationship with God is a relationship of that of a lover. This relationship is a continuous seeking. Because God’s love is not always visible as God gives more importance to our freedom. So we must seek to find the love of God. The author of the Song of Songs says, in the middle of the night I will rise and go through the city, in the streets and in the squares. In the middle of night, in the middle of our problems, in the middle of our troubles, we must rise to go through the city in search of the plan of God. And when we seek the plan of God, we may not find it. There comes so many questions. There comes so many doubts. We are tired of questions and doubts. Then, “Scarcely had I passed them when I found him whom my heart loves”. Hardly we passed our doubts and questions, we find the true love of God. It’s a beautiful passage. From the search in the city, streets, and squares which we know, to the questions and doubts we try to clarify, to finding the true love of God. This can be seen in the life of Saint Mary Magdalen. Let’s reflect: Am I making the passage from my doubts and questions about the love of God to the real finding of the love of God?
