What Good - Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
What good is it
if Mary gave birth to the Son
1400 years ago
and I do not also give birth to
the Son of God
in my time and culture?
We are all called to be mother of God
for God is always
needing to be born.
Wait Without Hope - T.S. Eliot (For Holy Saturday)
I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, For love would be love for the wrong thing; there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
