RADICAL LOVE



                   POINTS FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION





              ❖  Be still and pause to think about your journey through Song of
                  Songs.  Ask  yourself  what  aspects  of  the  book  have  really

                  impacted  you  and  why.  Note  them  down  and  discuss  your

                  thoughts with other group members.
              ❖  Have any parts of the book caused fear to rise up in you? Why

                  do you think this is? Discuss
              ❖  Finally, meditate on the poem below and ask the Lord to grace

                  you with the steadfastness, determination, and love to pursue

                  the same path as the Shulamite. May God bless you on your
                  journey!


                  The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
                  She is His new creation, by water and the Word.

                  From Heaven He came and sought her to be His holy bride;

                  With His own blood, He bought her, and for her life, He died.


                  Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth,
                  Her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth.

                  One holy Name she blesses, partakes one holy food,
                  And to one hope she presses, with every grace endued.


                  Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,

                  She waits the consummation of peace forevermore;
