Some beautiful words from my friend, Catholic artist Sharmane:

This past weekend I was privileged to sing in a wedding. The bride was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen! I experienced something I have never experienced before. God filled my soul with such joy as he spoke to me. He was telling me that all of his children are “that beautiful” in His eyes. He sees our beauty from the depths of our soul. He has breathed his life in each of us. I closed my eyes and pictured myself as HIS bride.

Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved, ah, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. — Songs of Songs 4:1
