Let Him Kiss Me: Exploring Catholic Bridal Mysticism in the Song of Songs

St. Anthony's Tongue

Why does the most intimate book in the Bible begin with a kiss? In this episode, we explore the Song of Songs through the lens of Catholic bridal mysticism—a love story not just between a Bride and her Beloved, but between your soul and God. We’ll walk through the spiritual arc of the Song: longing, absence, union, and the deep healing that comes when we finally stop performing and let ourselves be seen. Expect mystic commentary, reflections on scrupulosity and spiritual dryness, and a reminder that yes—God actually desires you.
