Resting in the motherhood of silence, and giving birth to the light in the heart, is to breathe. On this holy night (which could be any night of the year) with this sacred breath (which is the Holy Spirit herself) I choose joy, I choose peace, I choose to receive the love of Christ, a gift that irradiates the world, a love that permeates every atom of matter, a grace that immolates this body in the fire of astonishment.Mandala by St. Hildegard of Bingen, 12th C.
