I would gladly give you some oil
Your empty lamp to fill,
If you could glean the sweat
From my furrowed brow
As I worked on the oil press
So diligently until now.
It is no coincidence that the Saviour's relationship with His Church is symbolic of marriage. He is the Bridegroom whose love for His Bride exceeds all other loves because it was sealed with His blood. The question begs to be asked: which one of us does not yearn for the greatest love there is? Which one of us does not want to attend the greatest wedding there will ever be? The time is drawing near and we will not be able to live on borrowed light.
