I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him that I languish with love.
I opened the bolt of my door to my beloved. But he had turned aside and had gone away. My soul melted when he spoke. I sought him, and did not find him. I called, and he did not answer me.1
- 5:8The groom departs unexpectedly. The bride seeks him and calls to him, but he does not answer. She does not understand why he has departed. +In one sense, Christ is at the very doors of each person’s heart, accessible and ready to enter. In another sense, Christ is ineffable and unreachable, for no mere human person can understand fully the Son of God. The Church seeks Christ and His truth, but She does not always find every truth right away; God permits the Church to search for truth over time, before arriving at what is sought.(Conte)
