For the love of Jesus is of a noble nature. That which He de- vours He would feed. When He has utterly devoured us, then it is that He gives Himself to us : and endows us with an eternal hunger and thirst. " " He brought me to the banqueting house, and His banner over me was love. " Yes, but it seems to the fas- tidious earthly appetite, the feeble, shrinking human creature, that harsh- est bread and bitter herbs are the matter of this marriage feast ; and the narrow bed of the Cross is cruel t...o those whose members are unmorti- fied. The soul is held there trans- fixed in the gathering darkness, en- during the terrible assaults of His grace, the agonies of His initiatory caress, " consumed yet quickened by the glance of God. " The dark hours 120 THE SPIRAL WAY pass, yet it seems that dawn will never come. But even in its despair the loving soul is glad to give itself, for since He asks it, who could demand a better fate ? " I understood, " says Julian of this august experience, " that we be now, in our Lord's meaning, in His Cross with Him in His pains and His passion, dying ; and we, willingly abiding in the same Cross with His help and His grace unto the last point, suddenly He shall change His cheer to us, and we shall be with Him in heaven.
