Song 4:5 | CPDV | STEP | Your two breasts are like two young does, twins that pasture among the lilies.

Song of Solomon 4:5

5 Your two breasts are like two young does, twins that pasture among the lilies. ^{▼▼4:5The groom describes his bride’s exterior beauty, but her feminine beauty is symbolic of her interior beauty. The expression ‘pasture among the lilies’ shows her peacefulness and holiness. The lilies are the Saints. +The metaphorical breasts of the Church are the belief and practice of the Faith. One can also say that Tradition and Scripture are the breasts that nurse the children of the Faith, feeding them the pure milk of infallible truth.(Conte)
,} ^{▼▼4:5 Thy two breasts, etc: Mystically to be understood: the love of God and the love of our neighbour, which are so united as twins which feed among the lilies: that is, the love of God and our neighbour, feeds on the divine mysteries and the holy sacraments, left by Christ to his spouse to feed and nourish her children.(Challoner)}
