AB In Origen's Commentary and Homelies on The Song of Songs, the Spouse represents at once the Church and the soul. She is marvellously beautiful, not by herself but because her well-Beloved gives her to be beautiful. The passages which underline this mystery are relatively many; they are linked to some Origenian themes of the theology of the Word as the "minister" of God's treasures. A famous formula of Gregory the Great ("animas luce Veritatis splendentes...") calls to mind, to a certain extent, the same ideas, but it does so in a context more directly centred on the Incarnation of the Word.
