". . .St. Francis de Sales frequently used the Canticle of Canticles (or Song of Solomon) - a heady, biblical love story. It shows up prominently in the Treatise on the Love of God, where the hero, the mysterious heavenly spouse, enthralls his beautiful beloved. He murmurs, Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
"While this mystical imagery resonates with our human experience, Francis saw it as a mystic metaphor. The voice is Christ’s, the Holy Spirit, attracting the soul into His loving embrace. . ."In
a recent
commentary, Father Mark Plaushin, OSFS, reflected on the blessing of a guiding voice.
