“Come then my love, my lovely one come, for 10 the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth the time of singing has come, the dove is heard in our land.” (Song of Songs 2:10-14)
In the Old Testament the “Song of Songs” is the poetry that embodies the love mystery of scripture and life lived in the spirit of awe and reverence.
I get excited when I hear the “mourning dove,” the first voice of spring. God has touched all creation with His love.
I call this a yearning call, we yearn for the reconciliation of all families and nations.
The whole world is reconciled with God through the cross and Resurrection of Christ. (Colossians 1:20)
The Easter event is something personal, something which is an event of presence. We read about Mary Magdala at the empty tomb, the grace of Easter is bestowed on her in the tender encounter with Jesus; “Mary-Master.” (John 20:16-17)
The reconciliation of the person is not only a holy experience but the achieved reconciliation has need of the Church's ministry in its service, In the modern world we must also work for a just social order for all poeple.
There is another powerful ministry in the Church that is the contemplative prayer, represented by Mary the mother, the other two Mary's and John at the foot of the cross, this is the community of love in the new Covenant, which has feelings of abandoment but cannot give up loyality to the “lover.”
Our Lady of Victory Missonary Sisters is an American Missionary Congregation founded in 1922 — serving the poor and oppressed in a personal, non-institutional way
