Expecting Christ

R E F L E C T I O N
We are all meant to be mothers of God
What good is it to me if this eternal birth of the divine Son takes place unceasingly
but does not take place within myself?
And, what good is it to me if Mary is full of grace
if I am not also full of grace?
What good is it to me for the Creator to give birth to his Son
if I do not also give birth to him in my time and my culture?
Then, then, is the fullness of time:
When the Son of God is begotten in us.
----Meister Eckhart----

This beautiful reflection came from my friend Al Ferrando. I wanted to pass it along. Word Clouds are new to me. I thought this was a perfect poem for a word cloud.
As Advent is coming to a close and we move toward celebrating Jesus birth and his promise to return to usher in the peaceable kingdom, may we become whom we expect. Each day may we live God's justice and peace in our daily actions.
