Episode: Day 165: The Lover and the Beloved (2023)
It was mentioned that Pope John Paul II wrote this book of teachings, and his ideas about the Song of Solomon were referenced frequently in the podcast.
And there's a couple things that Pope John Paul II, when he wrote this thing called the Theology of the Body, a series of teachings that he had given for the space of roughly five years on Wednesdays over in the Vatican.
And John Paul II made this point about when it comes to love between a man and a woman, between the love of the husband and wife, he says that the woman always remains a master of her own mystery.
And John Paul II goes on to say, he says, this is the man's risk. He always risks when he initiates, even as a husband.
And John Paul again points out, he says, one of the things that reminds us of is that every time we approach those with whom we might even have a romantic relationship.
John Paul the second said, as often as husbands and wives approach each other like this, first seeing each other as the other who exists for their own sake, for the Lord's sake, first as sister, first as brother.
