Read
"To Be Virgin" by Loretta Ross-Gotta from "Watch For the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas"
Favorite quote:
"The gift of greatest efficacy and power that we can offer God and creation is not our skills, gifts, abilities, and possessions. The wise men had their gold, frankincense, and myrrh, Paul and Peter had their preaching. Mary offered only space, love, belief. What is it that delivers Christ into the world - preaching, art writing, scholarship, social justice? Those are all gifts well worth sharing. But preachers lose their charisma, scholarship grows pedantic, social justice alone cannot save us. In the end, when all other human gifts have met their inevitable limitation, it is the recollected one, the bold virgin with a heart in love with God who makes a sanctuary of her life, who delivers Christ who then delivers us...What if, instead of doing something, we were to be something special? Be a womb. Be a dwelling for God. Be surprised."

I mean seriously. Those two. Heart eyes.
More heart eyes.
