Prov 7:17 · Douay-Rheims
“I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.”

“I have scented my bed with myrrh, etc. They promise that they have such fragrances of heavenly virtues, by which they consecrate their hearts and those of their followers as if in beautiful bedchambers; so that they may say with the Apostle: For we are the pleasant fragrance of Christ to God (II Cor. II).”
