Song of Songs 6:1-2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 6
I Belong to My Beloved[a]
Companions:
1 Where has your beloved gone,
O loveliest of women?
In what direction has your beloved turned
so that we may join you in searching for him?
Bride:
2 My beloved has gone down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to browse in his garden
and to gather lilies.

- Song of Songs 6:1 Enchanted now by the fresh passion of the bride, the young women become her accomplices and seek to help her in her search. Their services are superfluous, for the bridegroom has appeared.
God, too, in an unexpected way, is near to those who truly seek him. And suddenly we will be called to see God as he is.
