"She lived in solitude, and now in solitude has built her nest; and in solitude, He guides her... He alone, who also bears in solitude, the wound of love." St. John of The Cross
"I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her." --Hosea 2:14

From todays Office of Readings...
"Prayer offered in holiness from a faithful heart rises like incense from a holy altar. Nothing is more fragrant than the fragrance of the Lord. May all who believe share in this fragrance.
Therefor, our old nature, in the words of the Apostle, was nailed to the cross with him, in order, as he says, to destroy our sinful body, so that we may be slaves to sin no longer."
Taken from a commentary on the psalms by Saint Augustine, bishop.
