My Seal on His Heart: Eucharistic Intimacy in the Song of Songs - Paperback

In My Seal on His Heart, Fr. Cleveland unveils the Song of Songs as the key that unlocks the deepest mystery of the Eucharist: God's desire to unite Himself to His people in a covenant of love.

From ancient Israel's Passover to Christ's New Passover, the Scriptures reveal a divine love story unfolding through history. The rabbis saw the Song as the "Holy of Holies," a poetic vision of God the Bridegroom drawing His beloved Israel to Himself. In the Eucharist, this mystery reaches its astonishing fulfillment. Jesus, the true Bridegroom, gives Himself completely-body and blood, soul and divinity-to espouse His Church in a new and everlasting covenant.

Fr. Cleveland guides readers into this nuptial heart of the faith, showing how the Eucharist is not only sacrifice and meal, but the wedding banquet of the Lamb. Here Christ feeds His bride with His very life, draws her into His self-giving love, and leads her through the desert of this world toward the joy of eternal communion.

Both biblical and mystical, theological and devotional, My Seal on His Heart invites believers to rediscover the Eucharist as the sacrament of divine love-where the Bridegroom still whispers, "Abide in my love," and the Church learns again to rest upon His heart.
