About this episode
The episode explores the concept of divine motherhood and personal spiritual growth through the lens of scripture and Meister Eckhart's teachings.
Scripture Luke 1:38 (NRSVUE) Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her. Refrain I open myself to what God wants to bring to birth in me. Quote Meister Eckhart "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 for the Creator to give birth to his Son if I do not also give birth to him in my time and my culture? This, then, is the fullness of time: When the Son of Man is begotten in us." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
