sorts of virtues; these are the heavens in
which We dwell perpetually;
and now I have sung to you as a
bridegroom would sing to his bride: a
canticle of love; a canticle of divine love
to remind all of you that you are heirs to
Our Kingdom; this was hymned to you
by the Hymn1 Himself to allow you all to
taste, while still on earth, My supreme
sweetness eternally joined to you;
so the Bridegroom welcomes you by
saying: “come now, with a contrite spirit
and have your fill in Me; let all who are
thirsty come! I have the Water of Life
and I have it for free;” I, the Lover of
mankind, the Lord God, ask you,
daughter of the Trinity, to take the other
two Canticles, hymned to you by the
Father and the Son, together with this
one and name Our Work:
Canticle of the Bridegroom;
in Our Divine Canticle are many sayings
of Our Triune sweetness, with amorous
teachings so that many trees would
prosper and grow; but as for the barren
trees, I shall come, with a host of angels
and uproot them in winter and so will be
twice dead;
inscribe on your heart, all of you, this
fundamental truth: “the Lord God knows
those who are His Own and so allows
them to come near Him;” these are
destined to attain perfection in the
divine and intimate union with Us; they
are called to be transfigured in Us and be
one with Us; their old self will be no
more, but in an ineffable manner I gave
always to My saints, I would deify them
in Our union; through Me, I deify all
those to whom I am united and they no
longer speak with their own mind but in
the manner I would speak; they no
longer see with their eyes but in the
1 God’s words are like a hymn and God is heard as a
hymn.
manner I would see things; their acts
would be My acts;
a golden ring was given to you,2 an
ornament of finest gold, the day of your
spiritual espousals, as a symbol of:
sharing the Cross; therefore, I invite you
once more to endure with patience your
trials;
grant Us your time, and now, beloved
daughter, come and rest in Us;
Let us seek
the understanding of the invisible God
by simplicity and purity of heart;
Let us seek the understanding
of His exuberant Love
in the divine union and intimacy
that His Majesty has deigned to offer us,
by wholly abandoning ourselves to Him;
In Your great condescendence
You have, Lover of all mankind,
hymned to us to rejoice us;
You have, as a bridegroom
who prepares for his bride a banquet,
You have prepared for all of us
a royal banquet so that we can all feast
on the bounty of Your house;
You give us drink
from Your river of pleasure;
yes, for with You, my Lord,
is the fountain of Life,
by Your Light we see the Light;
As a doe longs for running streams,
so longs my soul for You, my God;
my soul thirsts for God,
the God of Life; the God of Hope;
the God of Consolation;
when shall I go
to see the face of God again?
My heart had said of You:
“seek His Holy Countenance;”
