Today's 1st reading in mass really spoke to me. It is from the Song of Songs 3:1-4
The bride says this:
On my bed, at night, I sought him whom my heart loves.
I sought but did not find him.
So I will rise and go through the City;
in the streets and in the squares.
I will seek him whom my heart loves.
I sought but did not find him.
The watchmen came upon me
on their rounds in the City:
“Have you seen him whom my heart loves?
Scarcely had I passed them
when I found him whom my heart loves.
For those who have read my blog on March 1, 2017, you know how I received God’s love through hugging my street friend Tim. That’s how Jesus answered my prayer to let me see Him in the poor. Now, when I go outreach on the street, I'm no longer going out to do an act of mercy. I’m going out to find “him (Jesus) whom my heart loves”.
