ST MARY MAGDALEN, July 21
On my bed at night I sought him whom my heart loves. I sought but I did not find him. So I will rise and go through the City; in the streets and the squares I will seek him whom my heart loves. I sought him but I did not find him. The watchmen came upon me on their rounds in the City: “Have you seen him whom my heart loves?” Scarcely had I passed them than I found him who my heart loves.
Song of Songs 3 : 1-4
