My Seal on His Heart: Eucharistic Intimacy in the Song of Songs by Fr. Gregory Cleveland, OMV
My Seal on His Heart: Eucharistic Intimacy in the Song of Songs
by Fr. Gregory Cleveland, OMV
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.

Dr. Mary Kloska, Th.D., is from Elkhart, Indiana. She was raised in a huge Polish family (12 brothers and sisters) along with a lot of foster babies and other needy people in and out of the house. She presently has 70+ nieces and nephews. She has lived a very unique life. Upon graduating from Notre Dame in 1999 she spent almost 20 years in the missions serving the poor (including orphanages) as well as praying as a consecrated hermit all over the world –Siberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, the Holy Land and all over Europe as well. Although she spent a lot of time away in silence praying, ironically she loves children and is very fun and outgoing when it comes to serving young adults, as well as the little ones. She also spent her time in the missions giving retreats, doing simple catechesis, leading prayer groups, giving spiritual direction, helping in deliverance, changing diapers, feeding babies and cleaning floors. After spending intense time serving in a mission she would withdraw for periods of ‘retreat’ as a hermit (including three years as an official diocesan hermit with vows under a Bishop.) The last few years she has spent as a fulltime nanny to infant triplets, twins and several large families. She speaks many languages (poorly) and enjoys playing guitar, painting icons, baking, gardening, reading, writing and simply filling in where there is the greatest need in the Church.
