Union

"A young bride who has fainted into the embrace of her husband is closely united with him, but she does not enjoy the blessedness of her union with him because she is unconscious. Nonetheless, her husband holds her in his arms while she is in a state of fainting that has come from excess love. He recalls her to life again tenderly by his caresses, and as she comes to consciousness she knows that she possesses him who her soul loves and that she is possessed by him.

"So, too, it is with the believer."
