“ King Solomon, I love you. So tell me where you take care of your flock. Tell me where you rest your sheep at noon. Why should I have to act like a prostitute near the flocks of your friends?”

“ Wake up, north wind! Come, south wind! Blow on my garden. Then its sweet smell will spread everywhere. Let my love come into his garden. Let him taste its fine fruits.”

Look! There’s Solomon’s movable throne. Sixty soldiers accompany it. They have been chosen from the best warriors in Israel.All of them are wearing swords. They have fought many battles. Each one has his sword at his side. Each is prepared for the terrors of the night.King Solomon made the movable throne for himself. He made it out of wood from Lebanon.He formed its posts out of silver. He made its base out of gold. Its seat was covered with purple cloth. It was decorated inside with love. Women of Jerusalem,come out.“ Look, you women of Zion. Look at King Solomon wearing his crown. His mother placed it on him. She did it on his wedding day. His heart was full of joy.”

“ You are the most beautiful woman of all. How is the one you love better than others? How is he better than anyone else? Why do you ask us to make you this promise?”“ The one who loves me is tanned and handsome. He’s the finest man among 10,000.His head is like the purest gold. His hair is wavy and as black as a raven.His eyes are like doves by streams of water. They look as if they’ve been washed in milk. They are set like jewels in his head.His cheeks are like beds of spice giving off perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.His arms are like rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli.His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. He looks like the finest cedar tree in the mountains of Lebanon.His mouth is very sweet. Everything about him is delightful. That’s what the one who loves me is like. That’s what my friend is like, women of Jerusalem.”

Anyone who has my commands and obeys them loves me. My Father will love the one who loves me. I too will love them. And I will show myself to them.”Then Judas spoke.“ Lord,” he said,“ why do you plan to show yourself only to us? Why not also to the world?” The Judas who spoke those words was not Judas Iscariot.Jesus replied,“ Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. We will come to them and make our home with them.

“ My love has gone down to his garden. He’s gone to the beds of spices. He’s eating in the gardens. He’s gathering lilies.

The fig trees are producing their early fruit. The flowers on the vines are giving off their sweet smell. Rise up and come, my love. Come with me, my beautiful one.’ ”“ You are like a dove in an opening in the rocks. You are like a dove in a hiding place on a mountainside. Show me your face. Let me hear your voice. Your voice is so sweet. Your face is so lovely.

Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”

Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me.”

And I will do anything you ask in my name. Then the Father will receive glory from the Son.You may ask me for anything in my name. I will do it.

Dressed in beautiful clothes, she is led to the king. Her virgin companions follow her. They have been brought to be with her.

Come, my love. Let’s go to the country. Let’s spend the night in the villages.Let’s go out to the vineyards early. Let’s go and see if the vines have budded. Let’s find out whether their flowers have opened. Let’s see if the pomegranate trees are blooming. There I will give you my love.

“ You may go,” he said. He let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills. They were filled with sadness because she would never get married.

Where two or three people gather in my name, I am there with them.”

“ I went down to a grove of nut trees. I wanted to look at the new plants growing in the valley. I wanted to find out whether the vines had budded. I wanted to see if the pomegranate trees had bloomed.

If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be done for you.

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive what you ask for. Then your joy will be complete.
