Human Heart Longs for God
The love of the beloved for the
love is like thirst and hunger. The beloved searches for love during the night,
asking everyone for her love. At last, when she finds her love, she takes him to
her mother’s house. It shows the certainty of the love of the beloved for the
love. Love longs, searches and finds. Every love involves sacrifice and
selflessness.
Today we keep the feast of Mary
Magdalene the woman who loved Jesus. The love we speak and understand in terms
of beloved and the love. The love expressed in the book of Song of Song is the
love between the human heart and the Divine. Human beings long for God. St Augustine
says our hearts are restless until they rest in you. Mary Magdalene longed for
Jesus the true master.
Do we long for Jesus?
St Mary Magdalene
